| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | -5.6% | -15.0% | |

Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Auditor
- Muras Baker Jones Limited
- 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 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
- “No year is ever the same but this one has seemed a very challenging one for the Trust with several severe storms to contend with. The aftermath of Storm Darragh was quite devasting on Benthall Edge”
- “The Light Gives Life habitat improvement project has been completed this year, thanks to generous funding from the Potter Group Landfill Community Fund and the Postcode Local Trust.”
- “In 2024, the Trust set up a contracting arm to help secure our long-term future and reduce reliance on grants and rental income. This new part of the Trust offers environmental and land management services to other organisations and landowners, providing a new source of income to support our core conservation work.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
