## **CAMPAIGN TO PROTECT RURAL ENGLAND, GLOUCESTERSHIRE CIO**
## **TRUSTEES' REPORT** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025**_
The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011, FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Charities SORP "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)".
## **Objectives and activities**
## **Objectives and aims**
Our objectives are to promote and encourage the improvement and protection of the English countryside and in particular that of Gloucestershire and its towns and villages - and the better development of the rural environment.
## **Public benefit**
In planning the charity's activities for the year the trustees kept in mind the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit.
## **Achievements and performance Charitable activities**
Working to promote and protect the Gloucestershire countryside, the charity achieved its aims in the following broad areas, guided by our annually-reviewed Business Plan:
## **1.Reviewing and responding to planning applications**
We reviewed and responded to planning applications that had potential to impact our charitable objectives, focusing primarily on major housing developments and solar farm proposals amongst other potential threats to the countryside. These applications were considered at both a county-wide level and amongst our oordinated District Committees locally - North Cotswolds; South Cotswolds and Tetbury; Cheltenham, Gloucester and Tewkesbury; Berkeley Vale; Forest of Dean and Stroud. This approach ensured that local insights informed our responses across all areas of Gloucestershire.
## **2. Contributing to Local Plans**
Our District Committees participated in consultation of Local Plans across the county’s planning authorities. Notable contributions in the year included a submission from our Forest of Dean District Committee to the draft Forest of Dean Local Plan and our South Cotswolds and Tetbury District Committee providing feedback on proposed changes to Cotswold District Council’s Local Plan. Other District Committees also made contributions, ensuring our charity's voice was represented across Gloucestershire.
## **3. Projects, fundraising, communications and events**
In December 2025, the Board of Trustees approved a new three-year Business Plan, marking a strategic shift in focus towards the delivery of defined projects that directly support the charity’s charitable objectives. Following approval of the plan, activity towards the end of the year increasingly reflected this new direction, with greater emphasis placed on project development, grant fundraising and external engagement to support delivery in subsequent years.
In line with this shift, the charity undertook targeted fundraising activity in late 2025 to resource future project work. Trustees approved fundraising specifically aligned to planned project delivery, resulting in the successful award of a £2,576 restricted grant from The Summerfield Trust towards the development of a Brownfield Site Survey project, scheduled to commence in April 2026. In addition, the charity secured a £3,000 unrestricted grant from the PF Charitable Trust, strengthening core funding and providing greater flexibility to support the charity’s work.
The charity also invested time towards the end of the year in forward planning and preparation for 2026, which marks the centenary of CPRE nationally. As part of this work, CPRE Gloucestershire successfully secured a £5,000 grant from CPRE, received in the first quarter of 2026, to contribute towards the costs associated with centenary-related activities and engagement.

## **CAMPAIGN TO PROTECT RURAL ENGLAND, GLOUCESTERSHIRE CIO**
## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025**_
During the year, the charity reviewed its communications approach to ensure effective use of resources and staff time. Trustees agreed to discontinue production of the annual printed magazine, previously prepared in the final quarter of the year, recognising both the financial cost and the opportunity cost in terms of staff capacity. Communications activity focused instead on bi-monthly e-newsletters and digital channels, alongside preparation of the charity’s Annual Review for presentation to members at the Annual General Meeting.
The charity continued to deliver its established annual programme of events during 2025, including fundraising and member engagement activities, while maintaining support for District Committee-led events across Gloucestershire. While significant changes to event delivery models were implemented in 2026, trustees took preparatory steps during 2025 to support a more sustainable volunteer-led approach going forward.
Overall, the latter part of 2025 represented a period of transition, during which trustees laid the foundations for increased project delivery, grant-funded activity and strategic engagement in line with the newly adopted Business Plan.
## **4.Campaigns**
During 2025, the charity’s campaigning work continued to align closely with CPRE’s national priorities, while responding to a wide range of policy, planning and infrastructure issues affecting Gloucestershire’s countryside. Our approach focused on providing constructive, evidence-based input to consultations, engaging with decision-makers, and working alongside other organisations to influence outcomes in line with our charitable objectives.
At a national level, CPRE Gloucestershire supported CPRE’s coordinated advocacy on emerging government policy. This included responding to the Government’s consultation on its vision for land use in England and supporting the CPRE national team’s work in relation to the Planning and Infrastructure Bill, advocating for a brownfield-first approach to development, stronger protections for nature, and the safeguarding of local voices within the planning system.
A significant focus of local campaigning activity during the year was engagement on major infrastructure proposals affecting the Severn Estuary, including Hinkley Point C. Trustees and representatives wrote to, and met with, senior EDF representatives to raise concerns about the environmental impacts of the project, particularly in relation to fish mortality and proposed mitigation measures. CPRE Gloucestershire advocated for effective fish deterrent technologies and expressed opposition to proposals for saltmarsh creation as an alternative form of mitigation. This engagement formed part of wider efforts by environmental organisations and stakeholders to influence environmental outcomes associated with the project.
The charity also responded to consultations on transport and strategic planning, including submitting a response to the Western Gateway Sub-National Transport Body’s draft Strategic Investment Plan. At a more local level, CPRE Gloucestershire contributed to consultations on emerging Local Plans in Stroud District and Cotswold District, ensuring that countryside, landscape and climate considerations were reflected in planning policy discussions.
During the year, the charity published an initial response to the newly launched Western Forest initiative, publicly welcoming its ambitions and supporting its potential to deliver environmental and landscape benefits locally. Trustees also considered proposals relating to local government reorganisation and devolution through the Policy Sub-Committee, with the Board supporting the principle of a single unitary authority option; formal representations were made in the subsequent reporting period.
Alongside formal consultation responses, CPRE Gloucestershire continued to engage with Gloucestershire Members of Parliament on a range of issues relevant to our mission, including nature recovery, planning reform and local development plans, and maintained relationships with environmental groups, other charities and key stakeholders to support collaborative advocacy.
## **5. CPRE Gloucestershire Awards 2025**
We once again delivered our annual CPRE Gloucestershire Awards, with a ceremony celebrating local projects that exemplify environmental protection and enhancement, as well as meaningful contributions to local communities. The 2025 Awards were held at Elmore Court for a second year, and the trustees extend their thanks to the Elmore Court team and Anselm Guise for generously hosting the event. We are also grateful to Loxley Solicitors, who once again sponsored the Awards and enabled the charity to recognise and celebrate outstanding local achievements.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025**_
We were saddened by the death of long-standing Vice Chair, Richard Lloyd, in September 2025 who was a dedicated and expert contributor to the work of CPRE Gloucestershire over many decades.
## **6. Hedgerow Heroes Project - completion of Phase 4 and launch of Phase 5**
During 2025, the charity successfully completed Phase 4 of CPRE Gloucestershire’s Hedgerow Heroes project and launched Phase 5 later in the year. The project continued to deliver practical countryside enhancement while engaging volunteers, land managers and local communities across Gloucestershire.
During the year, the two Hedgerow Heroes projects contributed 2.8 kilometres of hedgerow being planted and laid improving biodiversity, landscape character and climate resilience. Delivery focused on practical action on the ground, alongside advice and guidance to support long-term hedgerow management and protection.
Hedgerow Heroes also continued to build and support a strong community of volunteer Hedgerow Heroes, including the involvement of a number of schools. This provided opportunities for skills development, training and engagement in environmental conservation. Through this work, the project remains a central part of the charity’s efforts to combine tangible environmental outcomes with community involvement and education.
## **Financial review**
## **Investment policy and objectives**
There are no restrictions on the charity's policy to invest. Management of the investment portfolio is carried out by M&G Investments on a discretionary basis against a very clear strategy to achieve balanced growth commensurate with funding needs in low and medium risk investments.
## _Reserves policy_
The Trustees aim to maintain reserves in unrestricted funds at a level that equates to twelve months of unrestricted charitable expenditure. The Trustees consider that this level will provide sufficient funds to cover fixed and governance costs. At the end of the year, our unrestricted reserves were in excess of the level required to provide this cover.
## **Plans for future periods**
Our activity is guided by a Branch Plan that we review annually. Future activity will develop our main areas of expertise, particularly in the area of environmental planning but the Plan also highlights the need to:
- Expand our campaigning work on countryside matters, working with others when many voices would make a greater difference.
- Promote our messages with greater vigour to the wider public.
- Increase our efforts to recruit and retain supporters: we are a membership organisation and our success depends on enthusiastic followers.
## **Structure, governance and management**
The charity is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation governed by its constitution dated 24 December 2019.
## **Policies**
Policies are in place covering: Conflict of Interest; Safeguarding; General Data Protection; Complaints Handling; Risk Management; Bullying and Harassment; Equality and Diversity; Communications; Finance; Reserves; and Volunteering.
## **Risk management**
The trustees recognise their duty and take active steps to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.

## **CAMPAIGN TO PROTECT RURAL ENGLAND, GLOUCESTERSHIRE CIO**
## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025**_
## **Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities**
The trustees recognise their responsibility to prepare a Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with the applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that year.
In preparing these financial statements, the trustees confirm that they have:
- selected suitable accounting policies and applied them consistently;
- observed the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- made judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- stated whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
- prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis
The trustees recognise their responsibility for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity. They are therefore able to confirm that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. Recognising that they are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity the trustees have taken reasonable steps to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees' report was approved by the Board of Trustees.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT**
## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF CAMPAIGN TO PROTECT RURAL ENGLAND, GLOUCESTERSHIRE CIO**
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Campaign to Protect Rural England, Gloucestershire CIO (the charity) for the year ended 31 December 2025.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act 2011.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared the financial statements in accordance with the relevant version of the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their financial statements in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has now been withdrawn. I understand that this has been done in order for the financial statements to provide a true and fair view in accordance with UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
- 1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Charities Act 2011.
- 2 the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
- 3 the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of financial statements set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the financial statements give a true and fair view, which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.

## **CAMPAIGN TO PROTECT RURAL ENGLAND, GLOUCESTERSHIRE CIO**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025**_
## **1 Accounting policies**
## **1.1 Accounting convention**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011, FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Charities SORP "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)". The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The financial statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
## **1.2 Charitable funds**
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
## **1.3 Income**
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
## **1.4 Expenditure**
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
## **Transactions from Predecessor Organisation**
In May 2022 the activities, assets and funds of Campaign to Protect Rural England Gloucestershire (Charity No: 248577) were transferred to this Charitable Incorporated Organisation.
A bank account has remained open in the name of the predecessor organisation in the event that any subsequent donations or legacies received.
The activities of the CIO are reported here as for the year ended 31 December 2024 include activity received in the bank account in the name of the predecessor organisation bank account as follows: Income £1,574 and Expenditure £313.
