THE FALCONRY CENTRE, HAGLEY LTD The report of the trustees for the period ended 30 June 2021
Introduction
The trustees present their annual report and accounts for the period 19th June 2020 to 30th June 2021.
Objectives and Activities
The Falconry Centre, Hagley Ltd (“TFC”) has the following objectives, as set out in the Articles of Association:
4.1.To promote, for the public benefit, the conservation, protection and preservation of all species of raptors (birds of prey) together with their varying habitats worldwide, through but not exclusively by captive breeding programmes, the treatment and rehabilitation of wild injured raptors and contributing to research into the breeding, habitat and health of all birds of prey.
4.2.The advancement of education of the public generally in the conservation, preservation and welfare of raptors together with the heritage and history of falconry in the United Kingdom and worldwide, through but not exclusively by conducting exhibitions, flying displays and demonstrations together with the production of educational literature and materials to instil amongst other things the importance of species of raptors and their diverse habitat in the wild.
4.3.To advance such other charitable purposes as may be conducive to the conservation, protection and preservation of raptors as the directors may in their discretion from time to time determine, for the benefit of the public.
The main activities in relation to these purposes for the public benefit include operating as a Visitor Centre open to the public. Education is the key to conservation and TFC works to promote a wider appreciation and understanding of birds of prey in the UK and worldwide. TFC is open to the public and engages in educational activities around the Visitor Centre including daily flying displays (weather permitting), question and answer sessions with visitors, educational signage around the Visitor Centre and a wide variety of birds to view in aviaries. TFC also runs Bird Handling Experiences for adults and children aged 5+ to promote public engagement with birds of prey and owls while continuing to educate a wider audience about birds of prey and conservation.
TFC also carries out educational visits in schools, taking a small team of birds to fly indoors in school halls for children of all ages. Children are encouraged to ask questions throughout the demonstrations. Educational visits often tie in with National Curriculum topics being studied at the time, or with particular books being read by the children, to expand their knowledge and understanding of the subjects they are learning.
Additionally, TFC operates a hospital for sick and injured wild birds of prey, engaging in direct, hands-on conservation work. An average of 30 to 50 wild birds are brought into the Centre each year, suffering from trauma, malnourishment, disease, parasitic infection and other medical conditions. These birds are assessed, treated, rehabilitated and returned to the wild as soon as possible. TFC has a great deal of success with these conservation efforts, with an estimated 80% of wild birds returning to the wild. The other 20% either succumb to their condition or are humanely euthanised in accordance with TFC’s Vet, Euthanasia, Post Mortem and Ethical Review Policy.

THE FALCONRY CENTRE, HAGLEY LTD The report of the trustees for the period ended 30 June 2021
Furthermore, TFC undertakes captive breeding, to maintain the collection of birds housed at the Centre and, where acceptable, to provide birds for demonstration, captive breeding, falconry, and conservation projects both in the UK and further afield. By way of example, TFC has a breeding pair of Rüppell’s Griffon Vultures, a Critically Endangered species. It is hoped that the offspring of this pair will be loaned out to other falconry centres for training and educational purposes before being placed in breeding programmes upon reaching maturity. It is eventually hoped that young from this pair, and from any future pairs, will be taken to Africa for release into the wild to boost the declining population.
TFC also engages in actively supporting other raptor charities and conservation projects, including A Future for Falconry and VulPro, by direct fundraising and/or donations at the discretion of the Trustees.
Non-invasive research is encouraged and undertaken at the Centre. TFC has worked with college and university students to provide information for research projects, including an observational study of the Rüppell’s Griffon Vultures and providing statistical information on wild raptor admissions for research purposes.
TFC also maintains a website and Facebook page to promote the activities of TFC and to directly engage the wider public. A selection of free educational resources and activities are published on the website to promote active learning and engagement with birds of prey and conservation for those unable to visit TFC in person or benefit from an educational visit.
Public Benefit
The Trustees confirm that they have had regard to and complied with the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit. TFC exists to help people understand the importance of birds of prey and wildlife conservation in the UK and worldwide.
Volunteers
TFC also acknowledges the significant contribution made by our volunteers, who work to support us by assisting with routine cleaning, maintenance, and husbandry tasks in and around the Centre. The enthusiastic support and assistance of our volunteers is greatly appreciated by the staff and trustees of TFC.
Achievements and Performance
TFC achieved its charitable status in September 2020. TFC was formed in June 2020 by the now inactive West Midlands Falconry Display Team Ltd (formerly known as The Falconry Centre Ltd) partially in response to Covid-19, to ensure the protection of the birds in our care and the continuation of the invaluable education and conservation work being undertaken. TFC achieved charitable status in September 2020.

THE FALCONRY CENTRE, HAGLEY LTD The report of the trustees for the period ended 30 June 2021
2020 saw the Rüppell’s Griffon Vultures successfully breed for the second time; the egg was naturally incubated for 10 days before being removed and placed in an incubator. After hatching, the baby was hand-reared for a few days to ensure it was healthy, before being returned to the parents, who continued to successfully rear it. Their baby, who has been named “Stitches”, is being trained to fly at TFC for educational purposes. Having been parent reared, it is hoped that the baby will be paired up for breeding in the future upon reaching sexual maturity at around 6 or 7 years old. This was a huge success for the future conservation efforts of this critically endangered species.
During the first lockdown in 2020, TFC took the opportunity to completely remodel the entrance to the Visitor Centre, making it larger and installing concrete ramps in and out, with Perspex counter screens and better lighting. Not only has this made the entrance more attractive, it is now fully wheelchair and pushchair accessible for visitors.
TFC re-opened to visitors after the first national lockdown on 4th July 2020. We immediately resumed our daily flying displays and gradually reintroduced our full range of Bird Handling Experiences, which are hugely popular and one of the main educational and outreach tools used to engage the general public.
In November, we were forced to close again due to the second national lockdown, we opened for December but closed again in January 2021 for the third lockdown. We reopened on 12th April. WMFDT and therefore TFC were fortunate to benefit from DEFRA’s Zoo Animals Fund, which paid for all the birds’ food and primary care costs, staff wages and essential maintenance projects during the national restrictions. This has meant that we were able to survive the pandemic while remaining financially healthy and viable.
One of our major new projects is the development of a new seating area and flying arena for daily demonstrations. TFC now rents a 7.5 acre field adjacent to the Visitor Centre. Webb’s Garden Centre have allowed the development of a walkway between the field and the Centre. This has been split into two separate pathways; one off-show for the easy access of staff and birds, the other for the public. The public path is being developed into a picnic area and Wildlife Walkway, which will feature micro-habitats and information signage about native flora, fauna, and conservation information. This will serve to educate visitors about native species and habitats, and will also feature information about how people can encourage wildlife in their own gardens and other direct conservation measures they can engage with.
The field will be used for a main flying display during the summer months, showcasing the birds’ flying abilities in a large, open area. It is hope that this project will be completed for summer 2022, although at the time of writing this is dependent on Webb’s Garden Centre undertaking work to remove some asbestos sheds that are currently blocking safe access to the field for the general public.
Financial Review
The Statement of Financial Activities show net incoming resources for the year of £52,902. Total funds carried forward show £52,902 of which £Nil are restricted.

Principal Sources of Funding
TFC’s principal sources of funds are from visitors to the Centre, via gate admissions for a general visit or on a pre-booked Bird Handling Experience. Bird Handling Experiences may be purchased as vouchers online, over the telephone or in person at the Visitor Centre. TFC also raises some money via Donations and Birds Sponsorships. Donations and Sponsorships can be made in person at the Visitor Centre or online via the website.
TFC is eligible for Gift Aid and where possible is able to claim this on gate admission fees, Donations and Sponsorships with the permission of the individual purchaser/donor.
TFC also raises funds via its educational visits to schools, which are paid for either by the relevant Local Authority or Academy Trust.
A nominal amount of funding is also raised through the operation of a small gift shop at the Visitor Centre, which offers a selection of souvenirs for visitors to purchase.
TFC is also aware of the existence of several grant-making charities and other organisations, and while this is something we may pursue further in the future it does not form a significant part of TFC’s funding at present. However, TFC has already benefitted from two funding grants, one from Animal Friends Pet Insurance for general maintenance work at the Visitor Centre and the other from Bromsgrove Council under the Covid-19 general funding support available to local businesses.
TFC is considering forming a trading subsidiary to assist with fundraising and non-primary purpose trading. We are currently taking advice on this proposal.
Going Concern
Due to the nature of cash flows, as well as the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 outbreak, there is always some uncertainty with regards to the principal sources of funding. The Trustees have reviewed the principal risks and believe that the going concern assumption is appropriate.
Reserves Policy
As a new charity, there is no particular policy on reserves.
Investment Policy
TFC does not currently make any money from investments and, as a new charity, currently has no plans to do so.

THE FALCONRY CENTRE, HAGLEY LTD The report of the trustees for the period ended 30 June 2021
Principal Risks
The principal risks faced by the charity reflect those of many organisations at present, with the ongoing global pandemic of Covid-19, which has been exacerbated by the presence of Avian Influenza in the UK. Whilst at the time of writing things remain uncertain, with mass vaccinations and boosters having been undertaken the Trustees note that August 2021 was the busiest month ever seen at TFC with over 350 people doing Bird Handling Experiences and the highest takings on the gate admissions ever recorded.
The threat of Avian Influenza has resulted in bio-security measures being enacted, including disinfectant foot mats at every entrance and exit point of the Centre. Baths in aviaries have all been moved under the solid parts of the roofs to prevent wild bird droppings from contaminating the water. The pond in the Visitor Centre has been removed as there were concerns about it attracting wild waterfowl, which carry the highest risk of spreading the disease, and the paths in front of the vulture aviaries have been widened for visitors as a result. Wild bird casualty admissions have been temporarily halted, with casualties being redirected to either Vale Wildlife Rescue, Manor Vets or Taylor & Marshal Vets. The wild bird hospital is being relocated and extended behind the breeding bird aviaries and some new rehabilitation aviaries are being constructed to ensure complete separation between wild birds and those permanently resident at the Centre.
TFC is also mindful that visitor numbers may have been artificially high over the summer with people unable and/or unwilling to book holidays or travel abroad, resulting in an increase in those looking for local activities. However, based on the previous years’ takings for the Visitor Centre under the administration of West Midlands Falconry Display Team Ltd., TFC believes that income over the next 12 months should remain stable and the charity is financially viable.
Structure, Governance and Management
Nature of the Governing Document and constitution of the charity
TFC is a Registered Company Limited by Guarantee with Companies House under Company No. 12682959 and a Registered Charity with the Charity Commission for England & Wales, Registered Charity No. 1191207.
TFC is governed by the Articles of Association as incorporated on 19th June 2020.

The methods adopted for the recruitment and appointment of new trustees
Trustees are selected by the invitation of the existing trustees or by application for consideration. Applications may be made in writing or a candidate may be nominated by an existing Trustee. The Trustees may only refuse an application if, acting reasonably and properly, they consider it to be in the best interests of the charity to refuse the application. The Trustees must inform the applicant in writing of the reasons for the refusal within twentyone days of the decision. The Trustees must consider any written representations the applicant may make about the decision. The Trustees decision following any written representations must be notified to the applicant in writing but shall be final.
When considering a nomination or application, the Trustees have regard to maintaining an appropriate range of skills, experience and understanding necessary to promote the aims and objectives of TFC, and to maintain and/or expand on the current range of activities being undertaken. The Trustees will take into account the reasons behind the application and the level of commitment the applicant or nominee is able to make, and are also mindful that a smaller team of dedicated Trustees with specialist knowledge is preferable to a larger, generalised group, to avoid conflicts or stagnation of progress for TFC.
Organisational structure and decision making
The Trustees meet once per year in person to review the activities and achievements of TFC and to consider any administrative matters. Throughout the year the Trustees remain in touch through email and other mobile communications systems and may call Special General Meetings should the need arise to discuss any urgent matters. All Trustees have some level of active engagement with the TFC as either full or part time members of staff, current or historical volunteering, or in a professional consultancy capacity.
Advisors
TFC wishes to thank Rachel Paget of Polkadot & Ellis Accountants, The Barn, 173 Church Road, Northfield, Birmingham, B31 2LX for her invaluable advice and assistance in preparing TFC’s annual accounts and helping the Trustees comply with their reporting requirements. Her enthusiasm, dedication, and support throughout the year has been greatly appreciated.

Independent Examiner' Report to the Trustees of the
THE FALCONRY CENTRE, HAGLEY LTD
Respective responsibilities of charity trustees and examiner
The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. The charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law, and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Charities Act,
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act; and
-
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention to indicate that:
-
accounting records have not been kept in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006;
-
the accounts do not accord with such records;
-
where accounts are prepared on an accruals basis, whether they fail; or to comply with relevant accounting requirements under section 396 of the Companies Act 2006, or are not consistent with the Charities SORP (FRS102)
-
any matter which the examiner believes should be drawn to the attention of the reader to gain a proper understanding of the accounts.

1 General Information
The Falconry Centre, Hagley Ltd (TFC) is a charitable company registered and domiciled in England. It is a company limited by guarantee and accordingly does not have share capital. Every member of the company undertakes to contribute such amount as may be required not exceeding £1 to the assets of the charitable company in the event of it being wound up.
Its registered office is The Falconry Centre, Hagley Ltd, Kidderminster Road South, Hagley, West Midlands, DY9 0JB.
2 Accounting policies
Basis of preparation of the accounts
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006.
TFC meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
The financial statements are presented in £ Sterling, its functional currency and rounded to the nearest £.
Going Concern
The Trustees have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis on the assumption that their funding will be met. Due to the nature of cash flows, as well as the ongoing impact of the Covid-19 outbreak as explained in the Trustees Report, there is always some uncertainty with regards to income which relies upon donations, grant income as well as gate receipts, however The Trustees believe that income over the next 12 months should remain stable and the charity is financially viable.
Incoming Resources
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.
Donations and legacies
Donations are recognised when the Charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and the settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance by the Charity before the Charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either the conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the Charity and it is probable that these conditions are met within the reporting period.
Grant Income
Grants are recognised based on the accrual model and are measured at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants relating to revenue are recognised in income over the period in which related costs are recognised.
12
THE FALCONRY CENTRE, HAGLEY LTD Notes to the Accounts For the year ended 30th June 2021
2 Accounting policies continued
Expenditure
All expenditure is recognised 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.
All resources expended are inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
Charitable Activities
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the Charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Taxation
The Charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore meets the definition of a Charitable Company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is exempt from income and corporation tax to the extent that its income and gains are applicable to charitable purposes only.
Fixed assets and depreciation
Depreciation has been provided at the following rates in order to write off the assets (less their estimated residual value) over their estimated useful economic lives.
Vehicles 25% straight line for each full year of ownership.
Creditors
Creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business. They are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Funds structure policy
The charity maintains a general unrestricted fund which represents funds which are expendable at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the objects of the charity. Such funds may be held in order to finance both working capital and capital investment.
Restricted funds, where they have been provided to the charity for particular purposes, it is the policy of the board of trustees to carefully the monitor the application of those funds in accordance with the restrictions placed upon them.
There is no formal policy of transfer between funds or on the allocation of funds to designated funds, other than that described above.
Any other proposed transfer between funds would be considered on the particular circumstances.
