- 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 or the 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.”
Group structure
- NENE PARK TRUST · parent
- Nene Park Services Limited 100%
- Nene Outdoors Limited 100%
- Peterborough Culture and Leisure Trust
Significant events
- “The year has seen an extraordinary range of projects delivered across the Park. We completed the transformation of our main Welcome Area, creating a more accessible and enjoyable experience for visitors.”
- “Our Winter Festival returned for its second year, welcoming families to celebrate the season with lights, music and creativity.”
- “Peterborough Celebrates Festival returned for its third and most successful year yet, bringing together thousands of people for a weekend of sunshine, community and joy.”
- “We have also made great strides in our environmental work. The Reedbed project, created using 6,000 cubic metres of reused soil, has already inspired further biodiversity enhancements including the creation of Poppy Meadow and the Bee Bank.”
- “We also secured our first Biodiversity Net Gain agreements and completed a Defra funded Natural Environment Investment Readiness Fund project.”
- “In 2024, we also launched our Investment Prospectus, inviting organisations and individuals to invest with us and partner with us to deliver social, economic and environmental impact.”
- “During the year, we completed the acquisition of a parcel of agricultural land at Castor, helping to link existing Trust land and better enable public access through our rural estate.”
- “To increase our ability to deliver education to schools and groups, another classroom has been added, effectively doubling our capacity.”
- “At the year end the shop activity from the Trust's subsidiary Nene Park Services Ltd was moved to Nene Park Trust.”

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
