Our members and volunteers remain incredibly important to the Trust. RWT's membership remained stable over the year. Radnorshire boasts one of the highest percentages of resident members of all the Wildlife Trusts which is wonderful, but work continues to further grow our membership. Despite raising our prices for the first time in several years, we aim to keep the cost of joining RWT as low as possible. Many of our events are free of charge to enable wide community engagement in our work. Our volunteers are a vital cog in RWT's ever turning wheel and their hard work, loyalty and expertise is invaluable to the Trust's activities. There were numerous events for members and volunteers over the year, including our annual Christmas lunch at Gilfach. We aim to continue to grow our volunteer group with an emphasis on broadening its profile over the year ahead. The number of RWT's corporate partnerships remained stable and we plan to explore new relationships offering fresh avenues for collaboration and funding. In June 2024, our Warwick House office was put on the market with a view to moving to a rental unit nearby in Automobile Palace. The business plan for the move was revisited and a decision was made to remain at Warwick House. The building is in need of work, particularly dealing with its poor insulation. We are hoping to improve the workspace for staff and volunteers. Our Our nature nature reserves reserves RWT is responsible for 18 nature reserves across Radnorshire; we aim to manage / improve habitats for wildlife, build climate resilience and engage communities in nature restoration. Gilfach remains the jewel in the Trust's crown. With the dedicated support of the reserve's wardens and the hard work of our volunteers, Gilfach has continued to flourish. With funding from the Nature Networks Fund (NNF3), RWT's reserves team carried out habitat restoration work, including wetland creation and planting trees across the brackendominated field at the edge of the oak wood. The grazing management was altered to enable natural tree and scrub regeneration. The visitor centre renovation plans moved slowly over the year following the fundraising appeal. Work continues behind the scenes (pre-planning applications, built heritage advice, etc) that will move to action on the ground soon. We aim to breathe life back into the building and improve the visitor experience. With a focus on rewilding, our project at Pentwyn continued to evolve with the introduction of pigs and ponies alongside cattle, creating a more dynamic grazing system. Habitat restoration work included efforts to deliver more diversity in our pastures and riparian corridors. Our team, together with many volunteers, have carried out significant tree planting - experimenting with cactus guards for the first time in places. A generous funder supported the introduction of 10 native and rare plants. With multiple events over the course of the year, Pentwyn has becomea lively hub for a wide range of visitors, including local schoolchildren.

Our reserves are closely monitored by our staff and volunteer wardens, as well as the Trust's Conservation Advisory Group. We have had various surveys and reports carried out on the Ash Dieback at Bailey Einon which unfortunately, due to the ongoing risks to the public, will remain closed for the foreseeable future. We would like to thank our members for their understanding. Finally, the Trust is being generously gifted a wonderful ancient oak woodland by the Cadbury family who have supported RWT in many ways over many decades. Further details on this new reserve will be shared in the coming months. due to the ongoing risks to the public, will remain closed for the foreseeable future. Group.

Current and new projects The Wilder Lugg is a river restoration project that focuses on improving water quality, boosting biodiversity and natural flood management through the creation of leaky dams and wetlands. As well as capital projects and improvements on the ground, our Project Officer has also delivered training and citizen science workshops with strong landowner engagement and support from the local community. Scaling up catchment-wide river restoration also sits at the heart of our Wye Adapt to Climate Change project which is managed in partnership with Herefordshire Wildlife Trust. This initiative has been successful in supporting landowners to change the way their land is managed to deliver more resilience in the face of climate change. Engagement has been high with over 15,000 acres now under improved management with a focus on soil health, water retention and riparian habitats. Our Local Wildlife Sites project was funded by Powys County Council for a year to the end of March 2025. While our Stand for Nature Wales project came to an end, it created significant impact across communities in Radnorshire. Our aim is to always leave projects with a ‘tool kit’ to continue operating independently from the Trust and driven by local communities. The Green Future Leaders programme supported two interns for six months. We were successful in gaining funding for a new project called Wilder Communities with thanks to the National Lottery and the Ashley Family Foundation. The activities of the Project Officer in empowering local communities to enhance biodiversity in their area reflects one of the Trust's strategic goals to encourage people to ‘act for nature’. In 2023, we were awarded funding from John Ellerman Foundation for the Wye Now? project. The initiative's initial aim was to deliver campaign and advocacy work but we refocused its objectives slightly for the final two years of the project's life. Given our existing collaborations with those organisations that are working on improving the health of the Wye, it was deemed more appropriate to focus our efforts at farm / land advice along the riparian corridor. Together with funding from DRW Foundation, we now have a team of three part-time advisors. A continued lack of clarity over the forthcoming Sustainable Farming Scheme is a significant challenge for RWT, as well as Radnorshire’s farmers and other landowners. Our new team of land / farm advisors are building relationships across the county and will be prepared to advise on potential nature-friendly grants as soon as the government makes an announcement. Scaling impact through innovation and collaboration RWT recognises the power of collaboration and the sharing of knowledge and ideas to deliver the best outcomes for nature across the county. We have a wide range of partnerships where we are working directly with other Wildlife Trusts and environmental charities, such as Wye Adapt to Climate Change with Herefordshire Wildlife Trust. We do not want to reinvent wheels or compete for grants where we believe other organisations are a better fit in terms of expertise and resource. Being a core member of the Wye Catchment Partnership as it continues to evolve has been interesting and RWT hopes to receive some of the recent DEFRA funding for restoring the Wye catchment to good ecological health. We have also supported the efforts of our wonderful Citizen Scientists, led by Friends of the River Wye, who continue to monitor water quality, with data driving advocacy for cleaner rivers. Other collaborations with entrepreneurial and visionary organisations like the Black Mountains College deliver mutual benefits in multiple ways.

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2025 Re ort of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2025
FUTURE PLANS Plans and progress towards RWT's 2030 strategy As we progress through 2025 and beyond, we aim to focus all our efforts on restoring nature in Radnorshire. To be successful, we need a strong, focused and energetic team with a good mix of experience, skills and perspectives. With a new CEO in place, we look forward to RWT's staff team continuing to increase its impact on the ground. As well as a strong and stable team supported by our trustees, volunteers and other partners, the Trust needs to strengthen its financial position to ensure a level of sustainable income in future. While we have been successful in attracting project funding in recent years, unrestricted donations that keep our organisation alive have been difficult to come by. There will be increasing focus on the latter in the years ahead with new initiatives such as a Patrons’ Circle and a more structured approach to legacy giving which has been so important to the Trust over the years. We received over £12,000 in legacies over the year for which we are very grateful. At the time of writing, we have applied for significant continuation funding for two of our key projects - the Wilder Lugg (catchment scale restoration) and Pentwyn (connecting people with nature and food/farming). We hope to include some species reintroduction projects into RWT's work in the coming years. It is exciting to see wildlife camera footage of otters and pine martens start to be regular features on our social media feeds. The three pillars of our five-year strategy are always at the forefront on our minds: Restoring Nature, Inspiring People, and Mitigating Against Climate Change. All our activity can be linked to one or more of these strategic goals, but we need to improve the way we collect data, monitor and report. We will continue to work closely with our advocacy colleagues at Wildlife Trust Wales to ensure the forthcoming Sustainable Farming Scheme is appropriately funded so that farming in Radnorshire and the rest of Wales is managed in a sustainable, nature-friendly way that embeds climate resilience. While RWT will ensure that our 18 reserves are havens for wildlife, we recognise this alone will not come close to reversing nature's decline. We will do whatever is in our power to encourage all farmers and other landowners to increase the focus on nature restoration in the way they manage their land, with proper financial incentives to support this crucial transition. We are a small charity with big ambitions, and we remain optimistic. While tackling global climate change can feel overwhelming, the people of Radnorshire have the power to reverse the huge post-war declines we have seen in our wildlife. The support of our amazing members, volunteers and partners whose passion and generosity fuel our work is heartening and convinces us that we can make a difference. It is an exciting time for RWT with so many opportunities to deliver on our mission. There will always be challenges with political and economic influences pushing the Trust off course from time to time, but with your support, we will continue to work hard to ensure nature thrives once again in Radnorshire.

Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: Fraud and breaches of laws and regulations - ability to detect Identifying and responding to risks of material misstatement due to fraud To identify risks of material misstatement due to fraud ("fraud risks") we assessed events or conditions that could indicate an incentive or pressure to commit fraud or provide an opportunity to commit fraud. Our risk assessment procedures included: o Enquiring of trustees, the finance committee and inspection of policy documentation as to the Charity's high-level policies and procedures to prevent and detect fraud as well as whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud. o Reading Trustees’ meetings and finance committee minutes. o Considering performance targets for management. We communicated identified fraud risks throughout the audit team and remained alert to any indications of fraud throughout the audit. As required by auditing standards, and taking into account our overall knowledge of the control environment, we perform procedures to address the risk of management override of controls, in particular the risk that management may be in a position to make inappropriate accounting entries.

We communicated identified laws and regulations throughout our team and remained alert to any indications of noncompliance throughout the audit. The potential effect of these laws and regulations on the financial statements varies considerably. Firstly, the Charity is subject to laws and regulations that directly affect the financial statements including financial reporting legislation, taxation legislation and the Charities Act legislation and we assessed the extent of compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our procedures on the related financial statement items. Secondly, the Charity is subject to many other laws and regulations where the consequences of noncompliance could have a material effect on amounts or disclosures in the financial statements, for instance through the imposition of fines or litigation or the loss of the Charity's license to operate. We identified the following areas as those most likely to have such an effect: health and safety, anti-bribery, employment law, data protection, anti-money laundering and specific areas of other legislation recognising the nature of the Charity's activities. Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non-compliance with these laws and regulations to enquiry of management, inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. Therefore, if a breach of operational regulations is not disclosed to us or evident from relevant correspondence, an audit will not detect that breach.
