**Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2021** 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Objectives and aims** 

We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aim and objectives and in planning our future activities. In particular, the Trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set. 

From the Objects Clause of the Company's Memorandum of Association: 

'To promote for the benefit of the public the preservation and conservation of broadleaved woods and trees in Wales by encouraging better methods of management and the production of timber and wood using species native or traditional to the sites, by methods which do not reduce the scientific, scenic or historic interest present; To advance the education of the public about the ecology, history and silviculture of broadleaved trees and woods' 

In implementing its charitable objectives Coed Cymru focuses on the following activities. 

## 1. Woodland Management 

Bringing   neglected   woodlands   into  management   and  restoration   of   conifer   plantations within    ancient woodland sites to more natural states, by offering advice and ongoing support to woodland owners  throughout Wales.    Assisting  in  harvesting  and  marketing  of  timber  and re-planting.    Restoring  natural   woodland condition  and  improving  the  economic  value  of woodlands  by  improving  timber  quality.    Inputting   into government  policy.   During  the accounting  period Coed Cymru has delivered  management  plans under  the Farming  Connect programme and undertaken native woodland management programmes under the SMS Rural development programme. 

## 2.  Woodland Creation 

Developing woodland creation schemes at appropriate scales across regions in Wales.  Integrating woodland into  farm  businesses  and  expanding  opportunities  for  people  in  Wales  to  access woodland  and   forestry creation.    Promoting  woodland  and  forestry  design  enhancing biodiversity,  landscape  and   archaeological features.  Developing forestry options based on carbon and ecosystem services as well as timber. 

During 2020 the Charity has separated the delivery of all chargeable work into a wholly controlled trading subsidiary, which is able to operate independently of the charity on commercial terms with its clients, while remaining within the overall ethos of the Charity. 

## 3. Woodlands and People 

Recreation and public access form an important part of woodland management and increasing access to economic benefits from woodlands is an important driver for regular thinning and improvement. The Charity directs therefore directs effort towards improving the linkages between timber products using Welsh timber and woodland management and supply, as well as involving a wide range of people in its contractor base, where this is practical to do so. 

## 4. Education and Public Information 

Coed Cymru exhibits at local and national shows and events across Wales and on its website. Information   is provided about the ecology and history of woodlands and appropriate management methods for Wales. 

The Charity undertook the following projects during the accounting period 

Rural Communities Development Plan for Wales 2014-2023 comprising: 

Integrated Welsh Woodlands 

We  have  put  into  place  delivery  mechanisms  to  in  areas  supported  by  the 

Page 3 



**Coed Cymru Cyf (Registered number: 02455713)** 

**Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2021** 

project  to improve:  (a)   the condition of Wales' woodland is maintained and enhanced and (b) that woodlands and trees fully realise  their potential within the landscape of Wales, to continue to deliver multiple outcomes across social,  environmental and economic priorities. 

## Barrog Project (North Wales) 

Working  with a group of local farmers  comprising  the Nant Barrog catchment  in North Wales,  the project   will change  land management  practices  within the catchment  to increase  attenuation and improve   downstream flood  risk,  through  the  targeted  planting  of  trees  and  hedges. The  project  will  invest  in  tree  and   hedge planting, riparian fencing and woody debris dams and monitor  where practical  changes to flow, ecology  and the resulting improvements to social and economic well-being of the local residents. 

## grwpcoed.cymru 

We are piloting collaborative  actions focussing  on the uptake of innovation to increase economic value  from woodlands and landscapes containing trees that provide high ecosystem benefits.   This will generate  income streams  that  support  the  sustainable  management  of  natural  resources (SMNR)  achieving  true   resilience, economically, environmentally and socially. 

## Increasing Resilience in Iconic Welsh Woodlands 

The  project  is  providing  a  capital  budget  for  landscape  scale  investment  in  Wales' high  nature   value woodlands  to support  increased  environmental,  economic  and social resilience  by applying the principles   of the Sustainable Management of Natural Resources.   The project is scoping out investment in tracks,   fencing and  other  works  necessary  to  manage  on a  more  economic  basis  a  cluster  of  woodlands  that  have   high environmental value, to provide longer term sustainable management. 

We are involved in a number of Welsh  Government  policy groups including the Woodland  Strategy Advisory Panel and the post Brexit working groups.

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **Charitable activities** 

The Charity's objectives are 'to promote for the benefit of the public the preservation and conservation of broad leaved woods and trees in Wales by encouraging better methods of management and the production of timber and wood using species native or traditional to the sites, by methods which do not reduce the scientific, scenic or historic interest present'. 

While these are challenging times for funding and continuity of the delivery of the Charity's objectives in  light of  Welsh  Government  funding  withdrawal  from  the  environment  sector generally,  coupled  with  and   future uncertainty  in rural payments,  we have significantly increased  our outputs and impact  on woodland   creation and  management  through  the  RDP funded  projects,  and  in  facilitating  increased  access  for  farmers   and landowners with smaller mixed woodland schemes to Welsh Governments grant schemes. 

In addition to the 4 main RDP projects we provide the following services direct to landowners where the  costs of advice and support are covered by grants from Welsh Government to the landowner: 

-  Provision  of  woodland  creation  plans,  where  there  is  a  high  proportion  of  native broadleaved   woodland particularly where these woodlands fit into wider landscapes,  working with adjacent farmers  and  landowners to deliver projects that provide wide public benefit, including carbon, flood risk, habitat and biodiversity with  an economic return to the landowner/local economy 

-  Conversion  of  woodland  from  plantation  to  a  more  natural  state,  and  assisting landowners  with   the marketing of their timber, tracks and access 

- And the preparation of felling licences for woodland and small forestry parcel on farms, where these fit  into wider landscape projects 

-  Development  of  woodland  carbon  code  group  scheme  and  other  ecosystems  services schemes    for generating value 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Principal funding sources** 

## Principal funding sources 

The  Charity's  financial  policy  is  to  seek  a  diversity  of  sources  of  funding  for  key activities.    Longer   term financial  stability  is managed  as a key risk  with the core  and project  funding  stream  reviewed  on a   regular basis to ensure compatibility with long term objectives. 

The majority of funding is currently in the form of grants with a small but increasing income from chargeable activities.  As the trustees believe that earning chargeable fees and investment income are likely to increase  a separate legal structure has been established to separate and maintain appropriate accountability for trading  and investment  income,  and  charitable  income.    This has  been  described  under  Structure,  Governance   and Management. 

The  Charity will continue  to derive  its funding  from  mostly  public  sources.   For the year ended 31st   March 2021 the main sources of funding were: 

Welsh Government Rural Communities Development Plan 

## **Investment policy and objectives** 

Under the memorandum and articles of association, the Charity has the power to make any investment which the trustees see fit. The assets of the Charity are available and adequate to meet its obligations for the foreseeable future. Reserves held in accordance with the Reserves Policy are invested prudently balancing risk and return. Grants received in advance are pooled with reserves and invested in secure cash deposit accounts. 

Page 5 



**Coed Cymru Cyf (Registered number: 02455713)** 

**Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2021** 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Reserves policy** 

Reserves are defined in this policy as the level of unrestricted funds held which are readily available for use in the activities of the Charitable Company. 'Unrestricted' means those funds which can be spent at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the Charity's objects and are not subject to restriction by the grantor. 

As at 31st March 2021 the readily available unrestricted funds are referred to as the 'Contingency Reserve' in the Statement of Funds in the Annual Accounts. Trustees may designate part or all unrestricted funds to a particular purpose within the Charity's objectives, which would be shown as 'Designated Funds' in the annual accounts.  There are none in the year to 31st March 2021. 

## **Policy for the holding of and the level of reserves:** 

The level of reserves required should be assessed in relation to the ability of the Charity: 

(1) To operate effectively with regard to forecast costs and income. 

(2) To continue to deliver activities for between 3 months and one year in the event of a fall in income. 

(3) To make adequate provision to cover all liabilities arising in the event of the winding up of the Company. Realisable Fixed Assets and Stocks may be taken into account in this calculation. 

## **Reserves at 31st March 2021** 

(1) Based on a cash flow forecast taking into account forecast project costs, monthly expenditure and estimated income levels and timing, at least £120,000 is required in reserves to maintain liquidity. 

(2) One year's running costs at present levels are forecast at less than £120,000 excluding directly reclaimable project costs under agreed contracts. 

(3) In the event of the winding up of the company redundancy costs and other liabilities are estimated to be in the order of £100,000.  The Fixed Assets and Stocks balance stands at £90,798 at 31st March 2021. 

Based on the above policy the trustees determine that a reasonable level of reserves is between £120,000 and £180,000 as at 31st March 2021. The actual 'Contingency Reserve' balance at 31st March 2021 stands at £63,617. 

The Statement of Financial Activities shows a net deficit for the year of £96,884 and the reserves stand at £324,310. The Charity's funds have all been applied in accordance with its objectives. The Charity's assets are all being maintained in the furtherance of these objectives. 

Principal funding sources have contributed to key objectives during the year through a system of service level agreements with funding partners and specific project grant applications. Funds are sought to pursue the key activities 1 to 4, described above. Charitable expenditure is allocated closely to the performance of these activities.

**Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2021** 

## **FUTURE PLANS** 

The Trustees follow a medium term business plan for activities that provide for ongoing achievement of the charitable aims. Woodland management and associated activities are a long-term process and the Charity has sought a funding structure to deliver continuity of support over a number of years. 

However, it is recognised that greater uncertainty in availability of current funding sources and increased competition for funds that are available together point to a future that requires new ways of working. To this end, the Trustees are working with Social Business Wales and an external consultancy to identify alternative models for financing Coed Cymru's work. 

The substantial interest in woodland creation and management we reported last year has grown further, catalysed by the  increasing awareness of climate change and the continuing buoyancy of timber markets. The Charity's objectives for financial sustainability remain focused on diversifying funding sources, to develop investment opportunities for woodland creation and management and to ensure a robust legal structure exists to ensure effective implementation. 

The Trustees will ensure that the organisation continues to enhance the services it provides to meet the needs of its members and the general public and in particular provide effective response to post-Brexit scenarios. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Governing document** 

The Charity is a company limited by guarantee. It was incorporated on 28th December 1989 and was registered as a charity on 15th January 1990. Its governing document is the Memorandum and Articles of Association.  In the event of the winding up of the company, its members are required to contribute £1. 

For the last 30 years the Charity has delivered a range of successful woodland and forestry projects funded by largely by public sources, where these are compatible with the Charities objectives. 

The Charity has continued its exploration of  a wider range of funding sources  for woodland creation and management projects. The considerable increase in interest in woodland carbon last year has grown further and the Charity continued its review of function and structure to manage the risk associated with an increasing proportion of non-grant income and provide future options to receive funding outside reliance on grant as the only funding source. Demand for our advisory services continues to increase, in particular woodland creation schemes and increased harvesting of softwood timber, as market conditions have been favourable. The post-Brexit land management scheme likely to be implemented in Wales has also increased interest in woodland and forestry options from farmers, some of our main beneficiaries. The Trustees decided that, with rising commercial and investment income, a separate structure independent of the Charity has been established, that will operate within the Charity's overall objectives, but could engage if necessary in a wider range of transactions. This will have clear agency and accountability, being able to properly act on behalf of its clients. This separation would ensure that the Charity will continue to be focussed on delivering public benefit. 

The trustees are considering any necessary changes to the Charity's governing document. Terms of reference are being drafted between the Charity and the new Commercial Entity, the  name of which is Grwp Coed Cymru. 

The Charity is continuing to deliver all existing RDP projects and funding contracts without any changes, all within its charitable purposes.

## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2021** 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees** 

The directors of the company are also Charity trustees for the purposes of charity law and under the Company's Articles of Association are known as members of the Executive Committee. Under the Articles of Association all directors must be members of the Charity. One third of the Executive Committee must resign at each Annual General Meeting but may be re-elected. New directors may be appointed by the Executive Committee to hold office until the next Annual General Meeting, where the appointment is ratified. The minimum number of directors is three, the maximum thirteen. 

New directors are selected on the basis of their skills and experience in relation to the Charity's objectives. A broad mix on the Executive Committee is sought. In the event of the loss of particular skills due to retirement, individuals with appropriate backgrounds are approached to offer themselves for election to the Committee. 

## **Organisational structure** 

Coed Cymru Cyf's Executive Committee has 4 current directors. The Committee meets at least four times per year to set and review the strategic direction and policies of the organisation. The board of trustees is being reviewed and expanded following the creation of a new legal structure, with the right balance of skills being sought. 

The day to day running of Coed Cymru is delegated to the 'Director' (who is also Company Secretary) who has overall responsibility for ensuring that the Charity delivers the outputs specified and that service level agreements and grant contracts are met. 

## **Induction and training of new trustees** 

Most new trustees are familiar with the work of Coed Cymru and have ongoing experience in the Charity's work or in a similar field. The opportunity for all new and existing trustees to be updated with the Charity's work through field visits has been interrupted during the Covid pandemic but will be resumed as restrictions on meeting and travel are eased. All new trustees are provided with the Charity's governing documents, the latest annual reports and accounts, the trustees business plan and guidance from the Charity Commission on the duties and responsibilities of trustees. 

## **Related parties** 

As far as it is complimentary to the Charity's objectives the Charity is guided by local and national policy. The primary geographical area is Wales. Woodland Management in Wales is guided by the Welsh Government's Wales Woodland Strategy, Environment Act and Wellbeing of Future Generations Act which collectively provide high level guidance to Coed Cymru. 

It is of benefit to the Charity to have directors with an understanding of and working role in its objectives. Where a director has a link to a funding source or a recipient of services this is properly declared and disclosed in the accounts as a related party transaction. 

## **Risk management** 

The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the Charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. The major risks to which the Charity is exposed, as identified by the trustees, have been reviewed and systems have been established to mitigate those risks. The creation of a new entity will significantly reduce risk to the Charity resulting from an increase in chargeable services. In particular risks from managing harvesting and planting work, main contract management Health and Safety responsibility, will lie with the new entity and be managed through its processes. 

It is, however, recognised that systems can only provide reasonable but not absolute assurance that major risks have been adequately managed.
