1. Introduction

Climate Action Ilkley was formed in 2018 as an Unincorporated Association then on 5th June 2020 we became a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO, charity number 1189801) managed by trustees. A link to our constitution can be found on our website (https://www.climateactionilkley.org.uk/about/policies-documents).

The objects of the CIO are:

The promotion for the benefit of the public of the conservation, protection and improvement of the physical and natural environment of Ilkley, in particular: 1) by raising awareness of the causes and impact of climate change;

2) encouraging practical steps to reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide levels and mitigate the effects of climate change.

This report covers the fifth full year of our work as a CIO.

We are structured into Action Groups: Energy, Transport, Land & Nature, Culture & Community, Food. A representative from each group, who may be a trustee, sits on the Operations Group which is the main decision-making body of our charity. Its membership also includes the other trustees. Leaders of projects are also invited.

Taking action is at the heart of our charity. This can be by holding events to inform and inspire, by running campaigns to influence decision-makers, by working with and influencing councils and businesses, by practical actions such as planting trees and facilitating solar panel installation, or by developing projects such as a Library of Things and the Active Travel Hub.

Communication

Internal Communication - how we communicate and share information within CAI, so with CAI members and trustees

External Communication - how we communicate and share information with the wider community and public

Website

The current website (climateactionilkley.org.uk) was launched in early 2024. It is more able to be updated by members with no specialist knowledge. It has provided a platform to support our events and projects that have run during the year. There was a separate subdomain for the cargo bike booking system, but this project has now

4

closed. The Library of Things (Ilkley Thingery) and the Active Travel Hub have separate websites.

Liaison with Ilkley Town Council (ITC)

Climate Action Ilkley continued to work with ITC: our Liaison Councillor is Pauline Allon who has been very supportive. Other town councillors including former and current Town Mayors Damian Kearns and Jane Gibson have participated in meetings of our groups and projects.

The ITC Green Spaces, Environment and Sustainability committee is particularly relevant to our work. We were successful in seeking funding from them for the South Bank Project in 2024 and we have liaised with them since then. In October the Mayor offered to buy two trees for the orchard as part of the ITC commitment to compensate for any town trees that have had to be cut down. These were planted in the November.

Liaison with City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council (CBMDC)

We asked CBMDC in November 2024 about their plans for Bradford City of Culture 2025. In particular how they would meet the guidelines to

· promote and inspire environmental responsibility

· connect cultural and environmental policy and strategy Despite assurances over several months that they would be met, no substantive evidence was provided which was very disappointing.

In late July we were alerted by the City of Culture to an opportunity to apply for a grant of £300 to provide a simple meal for invited volunteers followed by a guided conversation about climate, community and the stories we carry. We were successful in our bid and held the event on 27 August. This was a great opportunity for us to get together 15 of our dedicated volunteers and partners from Ilkley and the wider area. We celebrated and reflected on our achievements and talked about how we can better achieve our vision of a sustainable, climate resilient town where everyone is part of a thriving community living within the planetary boundaries.

In June CBMDC published its draft Climate Action Plan and opened it for consultation. We responded in detail, welcoming the plan but identifying areas where the plan could be improved. In particular we urged Bradford Council to aspire to clearer targets to reduce carbon emissions and clarity on local adaptation to the changing climate. We believe that projects we have led here in Ilkley, such as the Ilkley Thingery and our Active Travel Hub, can be used as examples for the whole district. We offered to share our experience with the Council. The revised Plan after

5

the consultation showed minor adjustments relating to some of our areas of concern, but largely did not address them.

We have been in discussions with the Sustainability Group of CBMDC and have Barry Cussack and his team visiting the Ilkley Library of Things in the New Year. Councilors from ITC are planning to join the visit.

Liaison with Other Groups

We have good working relationships with other community groups within Ilkley, including the Friends of Ilkley Moor, Friends of Ilkley Riverside Parks, Ilkley Clean River Group, Ilkley Civic Society, Churches Together in Ilkley, Fairtrade Ilkley and Friends of Ilkley Rail Station. Also with those covering neighbouring towns including Wharfedale Naturalists, Addingham Environment Group, Climate Action Addingham, Otley 2030, Friends of Wharfedale Greenway and Friends of Weston Woods.

We participate monthly in the Ilkley Community Network which seeks to link and coordinate voluntary groups, businesses and councils. We also engaged with the programme for Bradford 2025 City of Culture.

We have continued to co-operate with the Friends of Ilkley Rail Station and Ilkley Civic Society to develop ideas for a Mobility Hub at the station and an Urban Realm Study of the town centre. We are liaising on this with ITC and Bradford Council. A drop-in session was held in May for the public to view and comment on the plans.

We have been grateful to receive the support of local Rotary clubs including recently a £500 grant to assist with the relocation of the Library of Things.

Ilkley Public Library Special Collection Project: Climate Change and the Climate Emergency

The Climate Action Ilkley Special Collection of books established in 2021 helps develop awareness of the Climate Emergency, promote our CAI activities and importantly will support our local Library.

Books are available via the normal borrowing scheme and some housed as reference material for use in the Library. The books have been purchased from cash donations to CAI, as well as book donations from CAI Members.

CAI have added to the collection during 2024-25 from significant book donations from Members.

6

Schools

We have had constructive discussions with members of the leadership team at Ilkley Grammar School about how CAI could contribute its expertise to promoting sustainability within both the built environment of the school and during its curricular and extracurricular activities. There are challenges to achieve this but we are committed to assisting whenever opportunities arise. In 2025 we developed existing relationships and recently attended a sponsorship and networking event at the school. In April 2026 we will have a number of members involved in leading sessions at IGS as part of an off-curriculum day of activities associated with Earth Day.

2.2. Campaigning

We have supported the following campaigns over the year:

Climate and Nature Bill (CAN Bill)

Continuing our support of the campaign to make the Climate and Nature Bill law, we met our MP, Robbie Moore, along with representatives of a number of other groups within the constituency, to ask for his support. In that meeting, he confirmed that he does not support the Bill, albeit for reasons that either do not accord with the content of the Bill or that misinterpret the impact of the actions that it would require.

We subsequently arranged for the campaign group Zero Hour to hold an online briefing on the Bill and publicised it widely. Ilkley Town Councillors were invited, were unable to attend due to a clash with a full Council meeting, but have been provided with a recording of the session.

Bank Switch

We continue to run our bank switch campaign to encourage everyone to consider moving their banking away from those banks that have fossil fuel investments. In the UK this means, in particular, Barclays and HSBC and all their associated banks. You can find out more at bit.ly/Big_Ilkley_Bank_Switch.

2.3. Equity & Local Economy

We have previously held discussions with Ilkley Business Improvement District (BID) to learn more about how businesses feel about climate change and how they might reduce their carbon footprint. We aspire to engage with them, perhaps by offering awareness/training sessions and/or mutual support and information-sharing, but we currently lack the volunteer capacity to do this. However we are delighted that some

7

of our members have set up a branch of People, Planet, Pint which meets monthly for social interaction and attracts many local business owners and employees.

Library of Things: Ilkley Thingery

In early 2023, with generous funding from Beyondly we set up a Library of Things (LoT) (www.ilkleythingery.org). This is a community resource for sharing useful tools or household items, saving the need for individuals or families to buy them. It is by far our largest project as it involves leasing premises, employing Erika Shilling as part-time project manager and training a large number of volunteers.

The Ilkley Thingery remains extremely popular:

2.4. Culture & Community

CAI made the following declaration of emergency with Culture Declares Emergency in June 2023:

Climate Action Ilkley declares a climate and ecological emergency. We recognise the need for action across all sectors of society. We recognise our role within Ilkley's cultural community. We also recognise there are many others in our local area's cultural community, from many different aspects of arts and culture.

8

We would like to invite our cultural community, individuals or organisations, to step into this space where we can engage creatively and imaginatively with the climate and ecological emergency.

Culture Declares Emergency is a growing global movement of people working to embody the power of arts and culture to create positive change. The movement is radically inclusive and works through place-based hubs. Esther Abramson, a member of Climate Action Ilkley and former communications support officer, is the hub coordinator for the local hub CDE Wharfedale and Airedale.

CAI collaborated with the CDE hub on the Ilkley Playhouse production of ‘The Trials’ in January 2025. There was a CAI display in the Playhouse during the show run.

2.5. Land & Nature

Project South Bank

This project aims to complete a significant development on a prominent site close to the town centre, adjacent to the riverside path. Until 2021 it comprised frequently mown grass of low biodiversity. The objectives are to:

We have largely completed the first development phase at the eastern (Rivadale) end of the site. Our hardy volunteers have spent a lot of time trying to dig out docks and limiting the vigour of other potentially dominant plants. Our two trials, in 2023 and 2024, of scalping the turf and sowing a diverse seed mixture (Emorsgate EM4F) have had limited success. The site is North-facing with heavy soil which is quite fertile (phosphorus index 2). As expected only some wildflower species, such as oxeye daisy, are able to establish and compete with existing grasses and creeping buttercup.

Towards the western end of the site, on the main slope between the Playhouse and the river, Yorkshire Water contractors (Ward and Burke) reinstated the ground

9

following their major earthworks in 2024. At our request they profiled the slope to suit our plan for a simple ‘open air theatre’ and they avoided the addition of fertile topsoil. - We requested they sow EM4 Meadow Mixture for Clay Soils Emorsgate Seeds (wildseed.co.uk) . On the flat area at the top EL1 Flowering Lawn Mixture - Emorsgate Seeds (wildseed.co.uk) We got a general reassurance that this was done. As the sward established through autumn 2024 it was clear that, whilst the specified seeds may have been sown, there must also have been perennial ryegrass sown presumably to give quick cover. This year the low nutrient soil combined with very dry weather has meant that the wildflowers have done well, being able to compete with the very limited grass growth.

Mowing of the whole site has been difficult in 2025. The CBMDC Parks team has been depleted due to financial constraints and their equipment depot on Golden Butts Rd has been closed pending sale. This means mowers etc have to be brought from Keighley on a daily basis. Adding to this Ward & Burke had left their site with a large number of stones on the surface preventing safe mowing. Our volunteers picked up and removed these. Nevertheless the site was satisfactorily mown. Volunteers raked up the main cut in late August and the Parks team disposed of the arisings - thanks are due to Nick Preston and his team for their help.

In July 2024 we successfully submitted a bid for £3000 to Ilkley Town Council to fund a detailed plan for the landscaping of the now reinstated and sown slope. We had site meetings with the contractors PWP Design and the plan was finalised in July 2025 as planned and a report submitted to ITC. The next stage is to seek funding for the hard landscaping.

Community Orchards

The CAI Community Orchards were planted in March 2020, supplemented in November 2022, on two sites within Ilkley: East Holmes Field in central Ilkley, and Wheatley Field in Ben Rhydding. Trees were protected with custom-made metal guards, and information boards were subsequently erected. We have held community maintenance days in 2024/25 at which trees were weeded, mulched and pruned and some of the guards repaired or removed.

We have also supported Ilkley Fire Station in planting a new orchard on their land which was opened in 2024 and the Friends of Backstone Way Park as they consider planting a community orchard.

Tree Trails

Stemming from a desire to highlight the importance of trees in the carbon reduction effort and in the local landscape, our members have produced five local tree trails. They are distributed as free printed copies and online and have proved very popular.

10

Climate Action Ilkley supported the printing of the first run and subsequent print costs have been covered by other local organisations and businesses

Balsam Bash

Invasive non-native species are a threat to our native wildlife and biodiversity. Himalayan Balsam ( Impatiens glandulifera ) is a particular problem on the banks of the River Wharfe and its tributaries, dominating vegetation in summer then dying back leaving bare soil in winter. This is then susceptible to erosion in extreme weather events which are increasingly likely with climate change. Climate Action Ilkley was pleased to join Addingham Environment Group in its campaign to reduce it by pulling up plants in July 2025.

Denton Park Estate

The historic house Denton Hall to the East of Ilkley sits in a 1,000 ha estate, half of which is moorland. In spring 2023 it was sold by N G Bailey and Co to two of the family shareholders, Nick and Cal Bailey. The hall has has been opened for weddings and celebrations and the land and is managed in a way which addresses the climate and biodiversity emergencies. https://dentonreserve.co.uk/pages/about

Our members, with Wharfedale Naturalists and Yorkshire Rewilding network, have helped in 2025 with setting up monitoring transects and installing dipwells on Denton Moor, with woodland planting and restoration and with monitoring bird numbers.

2.6. Travel & Transport

Active Travel Hub

Climate Action Ilkley, in partnership with Ilkley Cycling Club, Alpkit, Commute Cafe and 93 Cycles bike maintenance, successfully bid in autumn 2022 to the West Yorkshire Combined Authority City Connect Cycle Hubs fund. This is to promote walking, cycling and wheeling in West Yorkshire. The project was initiated and driven, pro bono, by Martin Higgitt who is a professional transport planner.

The project formally started in April 2023. Key achievements have been:

11

Funding ended in spring 2024 and a further bid for a small level of funding to maintain the project was unsuccessful. However, with remaining budget, we have been able to continue to offer the successful e-bike loan scheme. E-bikes have been loaned for 4 weeks to over 50 individuals, three quarters of whom say they will cycle more and over half of whom say they intend to buy an e-bike. Indeed, 2 participants have announced the intention to give up a car to replace with an e-bike.

We will continue to offer the e-bike loan scheme in 2026. If we can secure some additional funding, we will update the website and re-start publicity to advertise the project and promote active travel.

Ilkley Transport Hub

Climate Action Ilkley has collaborated with Friends of Ilkley Rail Station (FOIRS), the BID and Ilkley Civic Trust to develop proposals for an integrated transport hub at the rail and bus station. With funding from Bradford Council, we were able to commission an architect to develop a masterplan for an upgraded rail and bus station, including major improvements to public realm, waiting facilities and amenities, such as secure cycle parking and access to shared bikes and cars. This scheme has now been submitted to West Yorkshire Combined Authority for taking forward.

Cargo Bikes

The eCargo Bike scheme began when we were awarded a grant from the People’s Postcode Lottery Fund to purchase eCargo bikes. We bought two bikes and a bike trailer in 2021, and a third in autumn 2022. We ran the scheme as a commons cargo bike scheme running on donations, rather than charging fixed fees, to make it accessible to all.

A team of volunteers helped to organise loans and maintain the bikes which have been used for shopping, moving bulky items and helping Climate Action Ilkley perform some of our other activities.

Despite having over 80 registered scheme members, usage in the last couple of years has dropped. We attempted to introduce a scheme where we would enable businesses to trial the e-cargo bikes for delivery, but a combination of lack of volunteer capacity and insurance challenges prevented this from proceeding.

12

The Trustees therefore reluctantly decided to wind up the scheme. Most of the bikes and trailer have now been sold (sale of the Babboe bike is ongoing) and the Trustees will now consider how to use the funds released by the sales, including ongoing support of the Active Travel Hub and diverting funds to other CAI projects that need support for sustainable growth.

Enterprise Car Club

Climate Action Ilkley would like to see a reduction in the number of vehicles on our roads. One means to this end is car clubs, which provide access to a car as and when you need it and is significantly cheaper than running your own car if you only use a car occasionally. We approached Enterprise Car Club

(www.enterprisecarclub.co.uk) and they set up a scheme early in 2020 with one hybrid car located at Priestley Court, Railway Rd.

Enterprise Car Club were consulted in relation to the proposals for the Ilkley Transport Hub (above) and expressed willingness to provide a second car club vehicle in the event of this scheme being delivered.

Car-free Festival

International Car-Free Day is a long-standing celebration of the benefits of streets closed to motor vehicles which is on 22nd September every year. In 2019, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 Climate Action Ilkley held our own celebration on the nearest Sunday to that date.

The Grove, Ilkley’s premier shopping street, is closed and together with other voluntary groups we run a celebratory community event with music, children’s activities, street play, demonstration events such as trying an e-bike etc. There are also stalls from voluntary groups and commercial companies offering solar panels, heat pumps & retrofit insulation. as well as information on climate change & other environmental issues including Ask-a-Scientist.

In 2025 we did not have the volunteer capacity to stage the event but we hope we may do at some stage in future.

Wharfedale Greenway

We continue to support Ilkley Town Council and Friends of Wharfedale Greenway in promoting the aspiration for a traffic-free route for pedestrians, cyclists and horse-riders between Pool-in Wharfedale and Bolton Abbey. A working group has been set up by the Parish Councils steering group to help take the project forward. The greenway has been identified by Bradford Council as one of its active travel projects for taking forward. Yorkshire Dales National Park is also very keen on

13

developing the Ilkley to Bolton Bridge section to help more visitors to reach the Dales without using a car. The Friends group is developing a ‘strategic case’ for the greenway with a view to working with West Yorkshire Combined Authority and the Councils to get the scheme closer to implementation.

2.8. Materials & Products

Collection & Repurposing of Unwanted Tech

In response to the increased need to get online for work, education, shopping & social purposes, Climate Action Ilkley wanted to both help those in need and encourage a circular economy, i.e. reuse of tech devices. Since lockdown in March 2020, we have been working together with Digital Access West Yorkshire (DAWY) (accesswy.org) to help connect communities and families across Leeds and Bradford. We have encouraged local residents and organisations to clear-out unneeded devices, which we collect and deliver to DAWY. They wipe, reset, clean and distribute the goods to a referred recipient of either their own or their Bradford-based partners Solidaritech (solidaritech.com), who support refugees. The recipient people and families are selected by partners who have strong links with the community.

We continue to collect & deliver devices on an ad-hoc basis, whilst the digital divide remains.

2.9. Energy

To help make Ilkley a carbon neutral town by 2030 we provide information to our members and on our website on how to reduce energy and carbon usage. Our energy group held monthly meetings. After discussion this has changed to events in order to attract a wider audience. The focus remains on energy saving and generating energy from in-situ renewable sources in our homes.

Heat Pumps

We continue to raise awareness of the benefits of replacing gas or oil-fuelled boilers with electric heat pumps. We organised a Heat Pump Open Day in May 2025 in which several of our members who live in terraced, semi-detached and detached houses showed people their installations. Following these events heat pump systems continued to be installed. Installations for domestic homes and for buildings that are used for charitable purposes are VAT exempt until a government review in spring 2027. A combination of high prices of gas & electricity and familiarity with the

14

technology has resulted in continuing growth of installations in the UK. Government reports summarise this:

A local heat pump installation company, Gecko, has ceased trading. Gecko installed and serviced Grant ASHPs, Grant has been contacted to see what offers they can provide to CAI members

Solar Panels

Local organisations and residents have contacted Climate Action Ilkley for advice and installations of solar panels continue. Many of these have been through our linkage with Leeds Solar who offer a discount for their supply and installation.

Energy management at home

Historically a major barrier to retrofitting residential properties has been the lack of skilled builders trained to do the work at cost effective prices. We have worked with WRAPT, a Leeds organisation, that provides energy advice a) to understand how our homes are using energy and b) to develop plans to reduce & decarbonise energy. WRAPT provided an interactive talk in October 2025 to take CAI members through this process. Members are signing up to this programme and are having e.g. underfloor insulation installed. WRAPT will run a workshop in February 2026 to provide advice on improving draught proofing.

A meeting has been arranged with Octopus Energy in 2026. Octopus will provide details and advice on a number of main electricity themes including tariffs, solar, heat pumps, electric vehicle charging and live monitoring of gas & electricity.

2.10 Food

Global agriculture is responsible for around one quarter of the world's greenhouse gas emissions and causes significant other problems such as using immense amounts of land, fresh water, and reducing biodiversity. The current focus of the food group is on reducing the consumption of meat and dairy because this has the most impact.

15

This group is relatively new and so as yet has no tangible outputs. However, the group is in discussions with ProVeg and FixOurFood about possible interventions in school menus and is also investigating the potential for community vegetable growing and an Incredible Edible scheme. Other ideas include working with local cafes and restaurants about charging for plant milks at equivalent prices as for dairy and changing the order of menu items to encourage take-up of vegan and vegetarian food.

3. Membership

Membership is open to anyone over 16 who has a stake in Ilkley: people who live or work in the town, have business here, family here, shop here or commute to or from the town. Membership subscriptions, after being held static since our founding at £10/year for adults, are now.

4. Financial Information

Our financial year as a registered charity ran between 1st April 2024 and 31st March 2025. The total receipts during this year were £44,711 , above last year’s receipts of £32,801, and the total brought forward was £28,126. Total payments wer e £52548 and the end of year balance brought forward on March 31[st] , 2025, was £20,189, which provided a good platform for the year 2025-2026.

Our official annual report and accounts for 2024-25 have been assessed and approved by an external accountant. See ‘ Annual Report and Financial Statements for the period ended 31 March 2025 ’ for details:

5. Administration

After discussion and review of our financial situation, the Trustees made the decision to appoint a paid administrator to assist with the ongoing management of our activities. With a diminishing pool of active volunteers and Trustees, there are a number of tasks of an administrative nature that we believe can be delivered more effectively by a dedicated administrator, freeing up time and resources for volunteers and Trustees to focus on project delivery and development. A part time administrator is now in post, and already proving valuable. Currently we have set aside a budget for up to 15 hours per month, but time is invoiced as used, and we are not currently using all of the possible budget. It is expected that the administrator role will develop and we will in due course make use of the full time quota.

WYCAS cashbook instructions

Overview - what it does and how it works

This cashbook enables you to record transactions through 5 accounts - eg bank or cash accounts.

It produces a report showing the receipts and payments to date against each fund and the bottom line shows you the closing balances on each fund. This is the R&P (Receipts and payments) report.

It also produces a report showing you the monthly receipts and payments and a running balance along the bottom of that report. This is the cashflow report.

Finally, it produces a summary report which you could use as a year end report with all of the restricted funds added together. You can also use this report to put in a budget and calculate variances from the budget.

How it works

You may find some complicated looking formulas in the reports but the principle is simple - each bank or cash account has an input sheet with a running balance - this looks like a bank statement. From here the data is linked to an R&P tab and a Cashflow (CF) tab. So each account has an input sheet, an associated R&P tab and a CF tab.

Then all the R&P tabs are added together on a Total R&P tab - this is the report you will probably use the most as it will tell you the current balances and total receipts and payments overall and on each fund.

Similarly, the CF tabs, are all added together on a total Cashflow tab - this report shows you the total receipts and payments by month and shows a balance at each month end. This report should help you understand your monthly incomings and outgoings and may help you spot errors.

The Year end / management accounts tab is linked to the Total R&P tab but totals up all of the restricted funds. Some extra columns are added to this tab to enable you to put in last year's comparatives or to put in a budget and calculate variances from the budget. But that bit needs a bit of thought.

How to use it

Set up the framework in the Lists tab first

The lists tab is where you add things like the organisation name, year end, the fund names, the months of your financial year, the names of your receipts and payments categories and your account names. It is important to do this first before trying to enter any data since the input sheets and all of the report tabs all refer to the lists tab in one way or another.

Try to keep the fund names short as these appear as the column headings on your R&P report.

Use 3 letter month names as these will appear as the column headings in the cashflow report.

You can add some additional information about the funds if you like - this will also appear in the column headings on the R&P report and this does tend to be helpful.

Input data into the account input tabs

You should start entering data from the first line in any account input tab.

The first line or lines should be the opening balance on the first day of your financial year. For this or these transactions you should choose the first month in your year from the drop list, choose the category 'Balance brought forward' and choose the fund that this balance relates to.

Specific kinds of transactions

Transfers between bank or cash accounts

You need to record these like any other transaction but you need to record something in both of the accounts affected. You need to choose the Tranfers category for each transaction and the fund category must be the same in each.

Say you are paying cash into the bank - in the bank you will record Money in, choose transfers and unrestricted funds. In the cash account record Money out, choose transfers and unrestricted funds.

Transfers between funds / sharing costs out between funds

Unless you are using all 5 accounts, you will have a spare unused account. We suggest that you use this account to record any movements of funds / reallocation of expenditure etc and it is easy then to see what you have done.

Say you want to increase the salaries expenditure in the ABC fund and reduce it in unrestricted funds - you can do that in a spare account. You will record it on 2 rows. In the first row, choose the month, then the fund you want to increase the spending on (ABC for example), then choose your salaries category, then money out £xxx, then on the next row down, choose the same month, choose the unrestricted fund, then money in £same amount. The running balance column must always come back to £nil.

Once you get the idea behind that you can appreciate that you could say reduce the spending in the unrestricted fund and increase it in more than one fund - just add as many rows as you need to make it work.

Note - you must always choose the same category for these transactions - eg never choose and expense for one row and say income for the other row.

Leave a blank row before your next transaction.

If you want to simply transfer a sum from one fund to another (think carefully whether you are actually allowed to do this….) then you use the same method as above but choose the transfers category for each row.

Warnings / errors and problem solving

Where there is an error, the R&P tab for that particular account will state there is an error at the top of the page.

The way the report tabs work is that for each cell in any row or column there is a formula - this formula looks at its column heading and row heading, then looks in the data input tab for that account, finds all the figures from the money in our money out columns, adds them together and puts that figure in the report.

So, if you have a transaction in the data input tab where you have not chosen a category or fund, the report will not know what to do with this and it will show you there is an error.

Climate Action Ilkley Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Climate Action Ilkley for the year ending 31[st] March 2025

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Climate Action Ilkley ('the charity') for the year ended 31 March 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 ('the Act').

I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent Examiner's Statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material 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 Act; or

  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 accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts 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 accounts to be reached.
