Thanks for submitting this report. While we don’t want to overburden you with reporting we do need more detail. The report is not for me but for the RSPB in general and is kept on record. We need to be accountable to our members and the UK government Charity Commission to show our money is being used correctly and effectively delivering our conservation goals (which in this case means making BCST a stronger BirdLife Partner). Authorities in the UK are now being stricter with NGOs (NGOs are not popular with our current government) and there is a small chance that we may be required to conduct an audit for BCST, so this report is now even more important. So if you and your colleagues could respond to my comments, it would be very helpful.
