Defra

Our future sustainable operations rely in part on the long term funding agreement with Defra, (the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs). The Grant Agreement enabled our Trust board members to form a positive conclusion about the ability of the Trust to fund its operations at a satisfactory level for the foreseeable future.

• The Grant Agreement is for 15 years from 2 July 2012, read the agreement.
• We annually publish the defined publication data in our annual report and accounts.
