The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30th June 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Purpose of the charity
To advance for the benefit of the public, the improvement and conservation of the physical and natural environment in Wales by buying/leasing land and restoring the natural processes that create resilient ecosystems. In doing so we will reverse declines in biodiversity and bio abundance in Wales. To advance the education and the engagement of the public in the principles of ecosystem restoration, through the promotion of these principles, and the networking of projects in Wales that follow them. To enhance the well-being of communities, principally in Wales, through the engagement of people with natural landscapes, and improving access to these landscapes.
Summary of the main activities
The main activities to the end of June 2025 have been to fundraiser to enable the charity to purchase over 1,000 acres of upland to create the largest rewilding site in Wales. Fundraising is continuing with completion anticipated in the 2025/26 financial year.
The land will become a living demonstration of nature-led ecological restoration, benefiting both wildlife and people and inspiring further rewilding action.
Policy on grant applications and social investment
The Tir Natur Ethical Policy details the responsibilities for due diligence when making grant applications and accepting large donations. This policy protects the reputation of Tir Natur and the donors. Grants are a major part of the fund-raising process to secure the land.
Tir Natur is working to secure social investment to enable the charity to purchase over 1,000 acres of upland in Wales. The Tir Natur Ethical Policy applies to investment alongside donations.
Tir Natur has a broad base of volunteers. All Trustees are volunteers and help to run the charity including, but not limited to, decision making, policy making, financial control, recruitment. Other volunteers carry out tasks including, but not limited to, support to the CEO and Fundraising team, carrying out surveys across the land, advising on ecological aspects.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF TIR NATUR
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Tir Natur ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 30th June 2025.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner's statement
Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, which is one of the listed bodies.
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:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or
-
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).
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.
