- 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. At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have reasonable expectations that the Trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.”

Significant events
- “The increase in Employers National Insurance contributions has impacted on both restricted and unrestricted funds.”
- “We are experiencing a challenging fundraising environment with demand for grants far outweighing the amount of grant funding that is available for the environmental sector. Societal needs means that funding is redirected to addressing these than focusing on environmental issues.”
- “Rising costs and less consumer demand has impacted the profits for the Corporate Sector resulting in many corporates either reducing or removing their support for charitable organisations.”
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
