Going concern

Affirmed

“The Trustees consider that the charity will continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from the date on which these financial statements are approved for the following reasons: the charity holds free reserves, after emergency and designated funds, of £243,499 as shown in Note 25 of the accounts; there is a pipeline of funded projects which are sufficiently resourced; and the organisation is fit for purpose for the delivery of planned work.”

Significant events

• “The past year has been challenging as we strive to deliver the ambitious but important goals set out in our 2030 strategy. The dual crises of biodiversity loss and climate change remain urgent, funding remains uncertain, and the wider cost-of-living pressures continue to affect our communities and operations.”
• “This year saw the successful completion of the first phase of the Severn Treescapes project, in partnership with Worcestershire and Herefordshire Wildlife Trusts, demonstrating the power of collaboration of landowners and communities across the three counties.”
• “The Eelscapes landscape recovery initiative is gathering pace, laying the groundwork for large-scale wetland creation and restoration with our partners at WWT (formerly the Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust).”
• “We completed a feasibility study for the return of wild beavers to Gloucestershire, an important step towards restoring natural processes to our ecosystems for the benefit of nature and of our communities.”
• “In the Slad Valley, the acquisition of Juniper Hill Fields, made possible by an inspiring local campaign, was a landmark moment. This was followed by the launch of our Knapp Lane Meadow appeal.”
• “Our Waterscapes project has delivered over 10 bespoke nature-based solutions. Independent analysis has estimated their value at £2.99m over 10 years, rising to £6.79m over 30 years.”
• “South West Wildlife Trusts, registered charity no. 1094746. This charity was dissolved in June 2024.”
• “The sale of Build with Nature Limited was completed early in 2024/25. As part of the sale process, the company name was changed to Wilder Glos Limited. Plans for winding up this charity are underway.”

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
