REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH JUNE 2025

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.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

Achievement and performance

Following strict criteria, Tir Natur has identified over 1,000 acres of upland that is ready for a wilder future. The fundraising and negotiating that has taken place has brought Tir Natur to the cusp of owning this land and bringing to fruition the benefits to wildlife and communities as nature is able to return.

Purchasing the land is the first step which is enabled through donations and social investment.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

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:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. 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

  4. 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH JUNE 2025

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

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. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Income

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.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure 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.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

Going concern

The accounts have been prepared on the assumption that the charity is able to carry on operating as a going concern, which the trustees consider appropriate.
