The report of the trustees for the period ended 30 June 2024
Introduction
The trustees present their annual report and accounts for the year to 30 June 2024.
Objectives and Activities
The Falconry Cenlre, Hagley Ltd I'TFC'I has the following objectives, as sel 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 varwng habitats worldwide, through but
not exclusively by captive breeding programmes, the treatment and rehabililalion of wild
injured raptors and contribub'ng lo 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 bul not exclusively by conducting exhibitions, flying
displays and demonstrations together with the production of educational literature and
materials lo 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 lo the conservation,
protection and preservation of raptors as the directors may in their discretion from lime lo
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 lo the public. Education is the key lo 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 lo 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 lo 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 lo ask questions throughout
the demonstrations. Educational visits often lie in with National Curriculum topics being
studied al the lime, or with particular books being read by the children, lo expand their
kno￿edge 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 10 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, Irealed, rehabilitated and returned lo
the wild as soon as possible. TFC has a great deal of success with these conservation
efforts, with an estimated 800/0 of wild birds returning to the wild. The other 20Q/o either
succumb to their condib.on 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 2024
Furthermore, TFC undertakes captive breeding, to maintain the collection of birds housed at
the Centre and, where a¢￿ptable, 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 Ruppell's Griffon Vultures, a Critically Endangered species, and
has this year added a pair of young While-Backed Vultures lo the collection. We are looking
to engage with other breeders of African Vultures and set up a project with VulPro, a charity
based in Africa, so that baby vultures bred here and elsewhere in the UK can be taken lo
Africa for release into the wild. This project is in the very early stages al the time of writing,
but early indications are promising.
TFC also engages in actively supporting other raptor charities and conservation projects,
including A Future for Falconry and VulPro, by direct fundraising andlor donations at the
discretion of the Trustees.
Non-lnvasive research is encouraged and undertaken at the Centre. In the past year, TFC
has worked with college and university students to provide information for research projects,
including completing a primary research questionnaire on Peregrines lo advice on
conservation status, historical population decline, current eslimaled population, ongoing
threats, and facts about biology and taxonomy for a sludenl on an extended project
qualification regarding fluctuating populations. We also participated in completing a research
study for a final year biology graduate completing a dissertation on sensory enrichment for
captive birds of prey. Furthermore, we provided photos and references lo Marie Kubiak for
her published article on Administering Analgesia lo Birds." NSAIDS, Opioids & Other Agents.
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 lo promote active learning and engagement wth birds of prey and
conservation for those unable to visit TFC in p8rson 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 lo 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 lo
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.

The report of the trustees for the period ended 30 June 2024
Achlevements and Perfomiance
Visitor numbers have increased again compared lo last year, wilh 8n estimated 9,500
people visiting in the last 12 months.
We made full use of the Flwng Field over the summer for the first lime and this was
extremely successful with plenty of positive feedback from visitors, many of whom made
return visits and were eager to see the display in the field. Some people have commented
that they prefer displays in the smaller arena where the birds are closer to the audience.,
having the main 1 pm display in the field and the 3..30pm display in the smaller Experiences
Arena has worked very well with many visitors watching both displays.
Our Family Fun Day was held on the first Sunday in September 2023, and raised around
£1,200. The Trustees decided to move the fun day from September to June in 2024, to take
advantage of the potential for better weather and lo avoid the end of the school summer
holidays. This turned out to be a very popular event, falling 9th June 2024, and raised
nearly £2,000, showing a significant improvement on the September date. This is likely lo
remain a permanent fixture each year, and the funds raised can be applied to either specific
projects or for the general maintenance of the visitor cenlre.
On the SLJbject of events, we have experimented with introducing some new featLJres and
themed dates. From 25th March to 7th April, we ran an Easter Egg Trail. This activity sheet
was provided free of charge with every children's admission ticket,. children had to find
brightly painted easter eggs dolled around the aviaries, which could be lifted up to reveal a
nest underneath. They needed to count the eggs, fill in the sheet, and hand il in at our Gift
Shop, where they were entered into a prize draw to win a free family admission for a return
We ran a similar dragon-lhemed trail with a mystery word lo find for St. George's Day
weekend, along with an emphasis on British birds during the flying display for April. Both of
these trails were popular with the children and we received good feedback from adult
visitors. The only event day in 2023 that was not successful was our Wildlife Weekend.;
due lo poor weather the Worcester Wildlife Trust did not attend as planned, and there were
hardly any visitors around.
In October, we introduced a new online booking system. We owe huge thanks lo Mr Mark
Weaver, who built and coded the system from scratch for free lo help support TFC. This
system now means that when a customer buys a gift voucher for a Bird Flying Experience
through our website, the voucher is automatically emailed lo them with a reference number
and entered onto an online database. They can then use a linklQR code in the voucher lo
access an online calendar to choose date for the experience themselves, and the booking
confirmation is also sent automatically. Copies of vouchers and confirmations are emailed lo
TFC, allowing us lo monitor and manage bookings as usual.

THE FALCONRY CENTRE, HAGLEY LTD
The report of the trustees for the period ended 30 June 2024
By far the most popular event was out"Birthday Weekend" in June, the takings on the gate
for that weekend exceeded £1,300 and visitors enjoyed extra flying displays, opportunities lo
fly birds, a cake stall and a raffle. The weekend was so popular that we may move our
annual Family Fun Day from September lo the second weekend in June instead.
We have also introdu￿d a regular 3'.30pm flying display every day which started in April and
will run through lo the end of October, slopping over the winter to coincide with our shorter
opening hours at that time of year. Alhough il is a new feature for this year il has proven
very popular, allracling additional visitors later in the day who know they will be able lo come
in and see birds flying in the afternoon. The 1 pm remains the main display bLJt we have been
pleasantly surprised by the number of extra people coming in specifically lo watch the later
display. Some days we have even noted that there are more people at 3..30pm than at 1 pm,
particularly weekdays during term time, so this wll likely remain as a permanent feature.
The addition of a "What's on Todal, board outside the Gift Shop has helped to clarify to
visitors what is happening each day, when, and where {e.g. the Experiences Arena or the
Flying Field).
Over the telephone, we enter the details online and send voucherslbooking confirmations
th just a few clicks. When people come into the entrance, vouchers can be done on the
laptop. If they bring in a voucher to book, simply scanning the QR code on our own phones
allows us to book them inl This system has significantly decreased our administrative
burden and the number of telephone calls that we are receiving. The system is working
incredibly well, wlh only a few minor bugs easily fixed after launching. We plan to expand
the system in 2024 to allow customers to book a dale al the lime of purchase, giving a
calendar showing available dates up to six weeks ahead. We are extremely grateful lo Mark
for all of his efforts in building and maintaining this system for us.

Principal Sources of Funding
TFC'S principal sources of funds are from visitors lo the Centre, via gale 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 Cenlre. 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 purchaserldonor.
TFC also raises funds via ils educational visits to schools, which are paid for either by the
relevant Local Authority or Academy Trust.
A nomin81 amount of funding is also raised through the operation of a small gift shop at the
Visitor Cenlre, which offers a selection of souvenirs for visitors to purchase.
TFC is also aware of the existence of several grant-making chartties and other
oryanisalions, and while this is something we may pursue further in the future il does not
fom a significant part of TFC'S funding at present.
TFC has a trading subsidiary to assist with fundraising and non-primary purpose trading,
though again this is a nominal part of our income.
TFC has now joined easyfundraising.org.uk, a free fundraising platform. When shopping
online, selected retailers will donate to a shopper's chosen charity, without cost lo the
customer. There are over 8,000 relailerslonline merchants who donate to easyfundraising.
Reviews of this sile are mixed with some charities sawng that they do not receive all of their
donations or issues with receiving payments, but others saying il works well. We do not
expect to receive much from it, bul with the closure of Amazonsmile, il is an alternative
possibility for raising some extra donations, and we will see if it is successful.
Going Concern
The Trustees have reviewed the principal risks and believe that the going concern
assumption is appropriate.
Reserves Pollcy
TFC does not currently have a reserves policy. We are anticipating a requirement for zoos
under Ihe revised Secretary of Stales Standards for Modern Zoo Practi￿, which we are still
waiting for publication. We have heard rumours but no subslanliated documentation as to
what the revised document will contsin, as there have been further reviews and
consultations which we were not privy to. Once the final draft is published, we will publish
our reserves policy in accordance with the legislative requirements for zoos.
The Trustees have agreed to open a savings account but the bank requires all Trustees to
sign the documentation lo open such an account, which will be done for 2024.

THE FALCONRY CENTRE, HAGLEY LTD
The report of the trustees for the period ended 30 June 2024
Investment Policy
TFC does not currently make any money from investments and currently has no plans lo do
so.
Prlnclpal Rlsks
As per the previous Trustee's Report, the principal risks faced by the charity include the
ongoing threat of Avian Influenza. Bio-security measures remain active, including
disinfectsnt fool mats al every entrance and exil 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. Admission of wild bird casualties has resumed as we see this as
an important part of our conservation work,. however, casualties are assessed and admitted
on a case-by-case basis and any con￿rn over a possible bird flu case is directed
immediately to a veterinary practice and is not brought to TFC.
The wild bird hospital is therefore being relocated again- we are now moving it lo an area
adjacent lo the Flying Field, lo ensure wild birds are kept entirely away from our birds.
Casualties are admitted in the entmnce, placed in a designated box only used for wild birds,
and taken straight lo the field hospital where there are rehabilitation aviaries In place, and a
dedicated hospital under construction for completion in 2024-25. The previous hospital will
now only be used for our resident birds.
The anticipated changes lo the Secretary of Slate's Standards for Modern Zoo Practice
ISSSMZPI still have not yet been published. the last update was on 6th September 2022 to
stsle that they are still considering consultation responses. Apparently, a further review has
taken place in consultation with a working committee that included representatives from
other zoos and falconry centres, but TFC was not invited to participate and has no
information about the revised draft, which has not been disclosed to anyone outside of that
committee. There has been no further communication since then, so we are still wailing lo
hear how any changes may affect TFC.
TFC is also mindful that continued concern over rising livings costs could impact visitor
numbers and the number of Experiences being purchased. However, we again note that
compared to many other Ioc81 zoos and attractions, TFC is a very cheap day out- an adult
ticket costs only £6.00, compared to £25 at Wesl Midlands Safari Park or £18 for Dudley
Zoo. Wild Zoological Park have this year increased their admission prices to over £20 for an
adult. We also note that visitor numbers have increased compared to last year. The
Trustees have agreed lo keep the prices fixed for 2024 for the benefit of visitors on lower
incomes., we will consider a nominal increase in 2025 bul a decision will be taken on this in
Autumnlwinler of 2024.
Based on the previous years. takings for the Visitor Cenlre, TFC believes that income over
the next 12 months should remain stable and therefore the charity is financially viable.
