**NORTHERN IRELAND FOREST SCHOOL ASSOCIATION** 

**Report of the Trustees FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2022** 

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 30 September 2021. 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 2015). 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## Significant activities 

The Company develops and delivers sustainable environmental education programmes to schools and youth organisations across Northern Ireland. We also advise on conservation issues and help organisations create or enhance wildlife areas, for example, local authority parks or school grounds. 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

All of the programmes run by NIFSA come under the heading "Learning Without Walls". The specific programmes can be broken down as follows: 

Forest School Awards: this is the outreach programme to deliver Learning Without Walls to local communities. NIFSA currently work with 180 qualified Forest Schools and are training a further 350 schools to become qualified. The  Forest School Awards are supported by Mid-Ulster Council, Lisburn And Castlereagh Council, Mid and East Antrim Council, Fermanagh and Omagh Council, Antrim and Newtownabbey Council. 

They are also financially supported by the Dufferin Foundation, Public Health Agency and the Drumlin Wind CoOperative. 

NIFSA currently support an average of 5,000 pupils being taught outside every month. 

Covid19: the effects of Covid19 are diminishing and not having a major impact now. 

Clandeboye Nature Rangers: this is primarily an after-school Forest School serving the Bangor area. It is based in Lady Dufferin's estate - Clandeboye Estate. An average of 21 children are picked up from 10 schools in North Down. Mid Term and Summer Holiday programmes are also run annually. These all prove very popular with waiting lists now in operation. In addition, school groups and nurseries visit Clandeboye to have a forest school experience. Usually, 2 or 3 groups attend weekly. 

The successful building contractor MCC Builds (trading as Koolcabins) has proved to be disastrous. No progress has been made on the building since their appointment in January 2022. 

## Development of other Nature Ranger Centres 

After the opening of the Centres in 2021, they have both had to be closed down. People's Park due to lack of customers. Moira had to close as 2 part-time members of staff left at the same time and it proved impossible to hire new staff. 

Looking at how to support existing Forest Schools to become Nature Ranger Clubs - after-school clubs. Will pilot with Fairvew and Hazelwood Primary Schools. 

## Forest School Awards 

Brian and Danielle continue to deliver the outreach Forest School Awards programme. Caoimhe Suitor will now also help as demand is there. Over the last year NIFSA has worked with 60 new schools wanting to become Forest Schools. 

## Staffing issues 

Pamela Brown and Chrissie have both had to be made redundant due to not enough income being generated to support the posts.

**Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Northern Ireland Forest School Association** 

I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 30 September 2022, which are set out on pages five to fourteen. 

## **Respective responsibilities of charity trustees and examiner** 

As the charity's trustees (and also the 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. 

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to: 

- examine the accounts under Section 65 of the Charities Act 

- follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission for Northern  Ireland under Section 65(9)(b) of the Charities Act 

- state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of the independent examiner's report** 

I have examined your charity accounts as required under Section 65 of the Charities Act and my examination was  carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland under Section 65(9)(b) of the Charities Act. The examination included a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also included consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as charity trustees concerning any such matters. 

My role is to state whether any material matters have come to my attention giving me cause to believe: 

1. That accounting records were not kept in accordance with Section 386 of the Companies Act 2006 

2. That the accounts do not accord with those accounting records 

3. That the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the 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 

4. That there is further information needed for a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. 

## **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 Institute of Chartered Accountants in Ireland which is one of the listed bodies. 

I have completed my examination and have no concerns in respect of the matters (1) to (4) listed above and, in connection with following the Directions of the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland, I have found no matters that require drawing to your attention.

## **12. RELATED PARTY DISCLOSURES** 

There were no related party transactions for the year ended 30 September 2022. 

## **13. EXCEPTIONAL ITEMS** 

During the year, an amount of £25,000 was paid as a deposit for building works to be carried out on a new  lodge in Clandeboye Estate. The work was never commenced and a legal case is now in progress to try and recover the money paid over to the builders. Accordingly the trustees consider it prudent to make a full provision against this payment.
