An organisation that will not show you its expenditure split is telling you something about its expenditure split.

Where money comes from
Individual donations and memberships, institutional grants, and a small amount of earned income from nursery seedling sales.
We are deliberately trying to grow the membership share. Grant funding arrives in project-shaped amounts with project-shaped reporting, and it almost never covers the twelve-month follow-up visit. Predictable unrestricted income is what makes monitoring possible.
We have not completed an external audit yet
Our accounts are kept properly and reviewed by the treasurer, and the figures above are our own. They have not been through an independent audit. When they have, this page will say so and the audited statements will be published in full.
What we commit to publishing
- Annual accounts, in full, once audited.
- The expenditure split each year, with the previous year alongside it.
- Trustee expenses, itemised.
- Any single grant above 10% of annual income, with the funder named.
- Restricted funds held and what they are restricted to.
Questions about our finances
Ask the treasurer. We would rather answer a hard question than have someone assume the worst.
