For the<br>purposes of this clause, ‘wildlife ranger’ is<br>defined as ‘the person involved in the<br>practical protection and preservation of all<br>aspects of wild areas, historical and cultural<br>sites.|

## **Achievements and Performance** 

||SORP reference||
|---|---|---|
|Summary of the main<br>achievements of the charity,<br>identifying the difference the<br>charity’s work has made to<br>the circumstances of its<br>beneficiaries and any wider<br>benefits to society as a<br>whole.|Para 1.20|The Charity was, in effect, in stasis for the<br>year, whilst it made relevant plans to<br>wind-down, including settling existing<br>assets and liabilities.<br>The Trustees have had regard to the<br>relevant guidelines on grant-making.|





It was decided that the organisation made a considered decision, rather than proceeding hastily to select a suitable onward benefactor for our remaining funds. The organisation has now made adequate plans to wind-down the organisation in due course, including making a transfer of the remaining funds to a UK registered charity continuing to deliver a similar benefit to that which RangerLab set out to achieve. We will communicate more details on this in our final report. We wish to put on record how immensely grateful we are to all those who supported us on our journey.
