Significant events
- “During the year, Ed Mitchell stepped down as trustee and we thank him for his support and knowledge. At the end of the year, we welcomed David Harris who brings a wealth of knowledge in the water industry.”
- “In June 2022 a wheelyboat at Roadford Lake capsized without warning. Our staff were quickly on hand to help with rescue efforts but unfortunately two people lost their lives.”
- “NCS achieved its most successful year to date, delivering a dynamic activity programme throughout the summer and autumn to over 1,000 young people. Initially, we anticipated continuing this momentum into 2025; however, the Government's nationwide withdrawal of the programme significantly affected financial planning, as a substantial funding stream has been removed.”
- “Leon Fisher joined the Trust as our new Head of Fisheries in December and has hit the ground running.”
