## APPENDIX 1 

## Other optional information 

Treasurer's report AGM 31/10/2025 

The Reindeer Trust has no financial activity to report for the 2024/2025 financial year. 

(The Reindeer Trust finances are on a sound footing following a generous donation from the Foyle Foundation and a few smaller donations which will be reported in the 2025/2026 accounts. This means that Trust activities can take on a new, funded dimension over and above the pro bono activities to date.) 

This is in contrast to the 2024/2025 financial year which was a lean spell from a funding perspective, though rich in research activity. 

The AGM meeting proposes funding for research writing and funded expert travel to a sub arctic reindeer conference “Arctic Science Summit Week” to share RT data. Further items under consideration for expenditure from the RT are Squarespace for the website, remuneration for genetic sampling of velvet and cheek cells, and website updates. 

The option to donate to RT via a donate button on the website and via JustGiving is now active. 

## Exciting times for the charity lie ahead. 

The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.
