## **Objectives and activities for the public benefit** 

## **Constitution** 

Tale2Tail is a registered Charitable Incorporated Organisation and is governed by the rules of the Tale2Tail constitution dated 9 November 2017. 

The Constitution of the Charity provides that the objects of the charity are: 

1. To promote for the benefit of the public the conservation of endangered wild animals in their natural habitat and their protection from extinction including, without limitation, the preservation of Asian and African elephants, rhino, giraffe, cheetah, big cats, pangolin and orangutans. 


## **We believe stories can change the world.** 

2. To advance the education of the public, in particular children under the age of 16 years, on matters relating to animal conservation, protection of animal habitats and biodiversity, preservation of the national environment with a view to increasing awareness of the risks of extinction caused by hunting and the ivory trade. 

_By telling children the true story of the cost of ivory, we can ensure elephants will still be a reality in the wild when those children are reading stories to their own children._

## **Achievements during 2020 – a year of building on solid foundations** 

**Key achievements** 


Despite the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Charity progressed its objectives through 2020 by building on the successful foundations laid in the prior three years. 

Tale2Tail was invited by the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) to commence its objective deliverable of promoting awareness and delivering education to children through its translation  of education packs and video sub-titles into French, Spanish and Mandarin for dissemination in schools with the help of a Department of Food and Rural Affairs grant under their Illegal Wildlife Trade program. 

This work was commissioned in March 2020 and completed in September 2020.

Tale2Tail.  Registered Charity 1176250 



## **Future plans** 

**Plan for the future** 





The Trustees will continuously find a way to improve every aspect of Tale2Tail by vigorously implementing the transparent financial procedures, quality control and in delivering high quality distribution platforms, creative and educational content in accordance with the objects of the charity. 

By leveraging government funding, such as the DEFRA grant awarded provisionally in 2018 and executed in early 2019 and successfully repeated in 2020 for pack translations, the charity has proven a sustainable model of content creation for the benefit of schools, children and their families. 

Furthermore, we will continue to find other sources of funding to support our charitable objectives, as we aim to scale our capabilities and repeat this successful educational model. 

We are proud that we have proven this model in such a short timeframe and received a secondary grant from DEFRA as recognition of our strength in delivering highly creative educational content.
