Objectives and Activities

The purpose of the Woolston Eyes Conservation Group (WECG) is to maintain and enhance the environment of the Woolston Eyes deposit grounds which are owned and managed by Peel Holdings/Manchester Ship Canal Company (the owners). The deposit grounds are classified as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).

WECG’s main activities are:

1. Habitat Management:

Woolston Eyes SSSI is a nationally important site for its breeding bird assemblage of lowland open waters and their margins, including nationally important numbers of Black-necked Grebe, Gadwall and Pochard. Approximately 25% of the UK population of Black-necked Grebes breed at Woolston. In addition to its ornithological interest, Woolston Eyes is also Cheshire’s premier butterfly site with large numbers of wider countryside species occurring along with notable assemblages of common amphibians.

2. Data Collection

The members and permit holders collect data on the fauna and flora of the site by:

The data collected is used by the WECG to guide habitat management activity and by Natural England when re-designation of the SSSI status occurs. It also informs the relationship with the owners to ensure that the quality of the habitat is maintained.

3. Visitor Access

The WECG facilitate access to the Reserve by managing a permit system on behalf of the owners. We also provide facilities so that visitors can observe and enjoy the wildlife.

Permit holders pay an annual fee for access to the Reserve of £20 per annum for an individual permit and £30 per annum for a family permit.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

Habitat management

Work to improve our habit for Willow Tit has been completed this year. The work involved the coppicing of 54 hectares of woodland and scrub across the Reserve, turning back the succession to mature woodland. The work also involved the control of invasive species such as Himalayan Balsam and Giant Hogweed. The work, funded by the national Species Recovery Programme and administered by Natural England, has been created to try and halt the decline in some of the nation’s most important species.

In addition to this new development a large amount of the more routine habitat management work has taken place throughout the year which has focused on reed restoration, tree coppicing and

maintenance of our grasslands. This work is carried out by RSPB wardens funded by Countryside Stewardship grants and permit fees collected by the WECG.

Annual Report

Every year we publish a report on the fauna and flora recorded on the Reserve. We are very grateful to wildlife artist Ray Scally who illustrated our front cover of the 2024 report which was of a Yellowbrowed Warbler. It was a record year on the Reserve for this scarce eastern leaf warbler.

The report for 2025 sightings is currently in preparation and will be published in 2026.

Fauna and flora reports from previous years can be found via our website www.woolstoneyes.com. In addition, all the data collected on birds, butterflies and dragonflies are entered into RECORD, a biodiversity information system serving Cheshire, Halton, Warrington and Wirral.

Visitor Access

There was a continuing strong demand for permit sales and approximately 750 permits were sold this year. We are grateful to our permit holders, whose positive support we greatly value and whose permit fees help to fund the habitat management work and provision of visitor facilities, which are at the centre of our committee’s activities.

FINANCIAL RESULTS

In 2025 £21,898 was raised from the sale of permits and reports compared to £18,477 in 2024 and there was an additional £1,995 raised through donations via the new permit system

We had a significant increase in our Countryside Stewardship annual revenue grant for No.3 bed and the loop in 2025 and the total grant money received was £85,831.

We also received £43,400 from Natural England for the Willow Tit Species Recovery Project .

We received a generous interim payment from the Estate of Hazel Linley of £64,909. Additionally a permit holder donated £1,500 as a contribution towards the costs of the retrospective planning application for the platform on No.4 bed.

The major expense during the year has been the cost of the RSPB wardening service which amounts to approximately £55,000 per annum.

The accounts show that we remain in a very sound financial position. At the end of 2025 we had £380,675 cash in the bank. We owe an estimated £225,000 to the RSPB for their services between 2016 to 2025. Accounting for this liability we had surplus funds of approximately £156,000 at the end of 2025. This is an increase from 2024 when our surplus was approximately £47,000, reflecting the significant rise in RPA grants and the generous donations received.

The group’s policy is to hold a surplus of at least £20,000 which would be intended to deal with any significant unplanned expenditure on our equipment or hides. As the committee comprises all volunteers our financial commitments are relatively small and the committee considers a £20k surplus sufficient to cover any financial risk.

Section C Notes to the accounts (cont)

Note 2 Accounting policies 2.2 INCOME

This standard list of accounting policies has been applied by the charity except for those ticked "No" or "N/a". Where a different or additional policy has been adopted then this is detailed in the box below.

Recognition of income
These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when:
Offsetting
Grants and donations
Legacies
Government grants
The charity has received government grants in the reporting period
Donated goods
Support costs
The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs.
Volunteer help
· the charity becomes entitled to the resources;
· it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; and
· the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or
permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102.
Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income
recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP).
In the case of performance related grants, income must only be recognised to the extent
that the charity has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant
only occurs when the performance related conditions are met (5.16 FRS 102 SORP).
Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has
been grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in
the estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the
charity or have been met.
Tax reclaims on donations
and gifts
Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor.
Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is
treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the
terms of the appeal have specified otherwise.
Contractual income and
performance related
grants
This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or
services or met the performance related conditions.
Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be
exchanged) unless impractical to do so.
The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be
the fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on receipt.
In the reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised as an
expense at the carrying amount of the stocks at distribution.
Donated goods for resale are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is the
expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale, and recognised in 'Income
from other trading activities' with the corresponding stock recognised in the balance
sheet. On its sale the value of stock is charged against 'Income from other trading
activities' and the proceeds from sale are also recognised as 'Income from other trading
activities'.
Goods donated for on-going use by the charity are recognised as tangible fixed assets
and included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable.
Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations
when receivable.
Donated services and
facilities
Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of
the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably.
Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as
income with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate
heading in the SOFA.
The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described
in the trustees’ annual report.
Income from interest,
royalties and dividends
This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can
be measured reliably.
Income from membership
subscriptions
Membership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognised in Donations
and Legacies.

benefits are recognised as income earned from the provision of goods and services as
income from charitable activities.
Settlement of insurance
claims
Insurance claims are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition
criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP) and are included as an item of other
income in the SoFA.
Investment gains and
losses
This includes any realised or unrealised gains or losses on the sale of investments and
any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the
year.
Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or
constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the
obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.
Governance and support
costs
Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support.
Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its
compliance with regulation and good practice.
Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost
categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, eg allocating property costs
by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.
Grants with performance
conditions
Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of
service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the
recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output.
Grants payable without
performance conditions
Where there are no conditions attaching to the grant that enables the donor charity to
realistically avoid the commitment, a liability for the full funding obligation must be
recognised.
The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade
discounts
A liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then subsequently
measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the
reporting date
Basic financial
instruments
The charity accounts for basic financial instruments on initial recognition as per
paragraph 11.7 FRS102 SORP. Subsequent measurement is as per paragraphs 11.17
to 11.19, FRS102 SORP.
Tangible fixed assets for
use by charity
The charity has intangible fixed assets, that is, non-monetary assets that do not have
physical substance but are identifiable and are controlled by the charity through custody
or legal rights. The amortisation rates and methods used are disclosed in note 9.5
The charity has heritage assets, that is, non-monetary assets with historic, artistic,
scientific, technological, geophysical or environmental qualities that are held and
maintained principally for their contribution to knowledge and culture. The depreciation
rates and methods used as disclosed in note 9.6.1.4.
Fixed asset investments in quoted shares, traded bonds and similar investments are
valued at initially at cost and subsequently at fair value (their market value) at the year
end. The same treatment is applied to unlisted investments unless fair value cannot be
measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment.
Investments held for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash equivalents with a
maturity date of less than 1 year are treated as current asset investments
Stocks and work in
progress
Stocks held for sale as part of non-charitable trade are measured at the lower or cost or net
realisable value.
Goods or services provided as part of a charitable activity are measured at net realisable value
based on the service potential provided by items of stock.
