- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group's or parent charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events
- “In December 2024 I replaced Anita Quigley, Chair since November 2021, following many years volunteering for the Trust.”
- “Two other Trustees resigned over the period of this report, due to work commitments, and I would like to thank Robert Oates and Cathy Sirett for their significant contributions as trustees.”
- “We were saddened to hear of the death of our Vice-President, Brian Tear, in December, at the age of 92.”
- “In August 2024 I completed a personal challenge of cycling to all of our Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust nature reserves.”
- “I also enjoyed meeting members at our first Members Day at Whisby Nature Park on 18 August 2024.”
- “At the Restore Nature Now march in central London in June 2024 wildlife organisations gathered to tell politicians how important nature is for the UK, and that it needs more support.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
