## The Resurgence Trust 

## Trustees’ Report 

_ The trustees, who are directors for the purposes of company law, present the annualeport-together -— with ine financial statements of the charitable company for the year ended 31 March 2025. 

## James Sainsbury, Chair of the Resurgence Trust : 

“It is a great honour to serve The Resurgence Trust. This year, the charity has continued to inform and inspire transformation, nurturing a vibrant community of change-makers across the globe. 

As the climate emergency intensifies, the work of the charity, providing knowledge and wisdom with integrity and offering a voice of radical hope, becomes more important than ever. 

For nearly sixty years, Resurgence has been a catalyst for change, playing a pioneering role in shaping environmental awareness. As we move towards the 60th anniversary of the first publication of Resurgence magazine, we will continue to work towards our vision for a world in which humanity lives in harmony with nature, guided by compassion, empathy and wisdom.” 

## Aim, objectives and governance of The Resurgence Trust 

## Aim 

The aim of The Resurgence Trust is to foster a greater connection to Nature in order to enhance personal wellbeing, support resilient communities and inform social change towards regenerative societies that enrich rather than deplete our natural environment. 

## Values 

Empathy and compassion; regeneration and optimism; integrity and justice. 

## Vision 

A world in which individuals feel connection between mind and body, between self and community, and between society and Nature. Society will have at its heart love of Nature and respect for the Earth. We will appreciate fully that humans are part of Nature, and that being connected to Nature is part of being human. 

Resurgence presents a vision of the future where economics enhances ecology, politics preserves peace, and democracy ensures social justice. It is a vision where humanity is at ease with itself and is in harmony with the natural world; a vision where spiritual fulfilment and material wellbeing are in balance, and science is in constant conversation with wisdom; a vision where political pragmatism is not in conflict with the culture of compassion; a vision where corporate responsibility is not an impediment to business success; a vision where social justice and economic equity are the backbones of national and international trade; a vision where human needs are met within the renewable resources of the Earth, and human rights are not in contradiction with the rights of Nature. It is a vision of wholeness, integrity and coherence of the Earth community, of which the human community is an integral part. Even though human civilisation is threatened by grave environmental crises and global warming, and many people are scared of impending catastrophe, Resurgence’s vision is not driven by doom and gloom: rather it is inspired and motivated by love of Nature, respect ~for-the-Earth,-reverence-for—all -life,-and-fairness—for_all_people,—believing_that_the_power_of_love_is_ greater than the force of fear and despair. Resurgence presents and promotes a positive perspective based on a foundation of optimism and hope.

Need
We are living in a time of crisis. driven by disconnection. There is a disconnection between natural
systems and our economic systems at a global level. This is the primary cause of climate breakdown,
biodiversity loss and soil damage. There is a crisis in mental health, often related to a disconnection
befvieen mind and body, self and other.
The solutions to these problems need to be specific, but also at a large scale and shared worldviide.
At every level, solutions are rooted in rebuilding connections.
The Resurgence Trust understands that social and environmental transformation is an ongoing
process. It is a long joumey that needs constant, stepby-step support. It is with this understanding
that we undertake all our work.
Objectlves
The Resurgence Trust is an educational charity focused on environmentalism, environmentsl justice,
and social justice. The objectives of the Charity are to advance the education of the public in the
consepiation, protection and improvement of the natural environment globally, and in art, culture,
spiritualty and human values, through messages of optimism, wisdom and empathy. Ecoliteracy is
urgent and necessary if we are going to build resilient and regenerative human communities.
Universal: the Trust will educate the public in promoting a narrative about an abundant Nature
in which connections create resilient and resurgent ecosystems.
Nature: the Trust seeks evidence from the natural sciences that supports the narrative that
connection is fundamental to Nature.
Humanity.. the Trust will educate the public about the vital and urgent need for reconnection
between human socleties and Nature.
Economics: the Trust wll educate the public about economics and our economies, including the
limits to growth and the challenges of degrowth, to redress the failure of mainstream economics
to make the connection be￿een economic growth and environmental damage.
Communities.. the Trust will work to improve connections within and between communities,
beginning with our local community in Hartland.
Individuals: the Trust will be a knowledge centre for methods of finding personal connections as
individuals, including providing space for activities like meditation and crafts.
Methods
The Resurgence Trust meets its objectives as an educational charity through four primary methods:
Educating the public through the distribution of printed publications, primarily Resurgence &
Ecologist magazine.
Providing educational materials and infomiation online, including at www.theecologist.org and
www.resurgence.org and in a F)odcast series.

our renewed commltment to meeting people face-to-face. sharing ideas, and nurturing community
beyond screens. After all this, net incoming resources were £42K, a decrease of 9%, yet still a sign of
strength in challenging times.

Policies
The Resurgence Trust operates a wide range of policies that exist to facilitate the effective running of
the organisation. A summary of our main policies and their purpose is set out below.
Page 8

The Resurgence Trust
Trustees. Report
Reserves pollcy
The Resurgence Trust operates a risk-based reserves and investment policy developed to mitigate,
as far as possible, identified risks relating to reseNes and investment in the following four areas:
Short-temi cash management - planning investments to ensure that sufficient liquid funds are
available to meet obligations then they become due.
Medium-term cash management - 'resi1ien￿'. Unrestricted reserves will be maintained at a
level considered adequate to ensure the operation of the Charity in the face of unexpected
adverse everrts or beneficial opportunities. The organisation looks to hold unrestricted reserves
in the band of th￿e to nine months of expenditure, ideally aiming towards the middle of the
range.
Deferred income - ensuring that income is not recognised before any obligations associated
with the income are discharged.
Investment - ensuring that investments are appropriate in terms of risk. returns and ethical
principles.
Restricted reserves are determined by projects. Funding for those projects, alongside the timing of the
expenditure, is outside the control of the Trustees.
Public Beneflt
Trustees are awsre of the Charity Commission guidan￿ on charities and public benefit and confirm
that they have complied with the duty in Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to it.
They consider that the full information contsined in this annual report about the Trust's aims, activities
and achievements demonstrates the public benefit that arises from those activities.
Investmént policy
In order to avoid the identified risks of supporting. through investrnent, organisations whose
operations andlor principles are not considered to coincide with the ethos of The Resurgence Trust,
and to avoid financial losses through inappropriate investments, the only investments currently made
by The Resurgen￿ Trust are fixed-term deposits in interest-bearing accounts with Triodos Bank.
The Resurgence Trust will seek to obtain the best rates of retum for any investments. However, the
rate of retum is considered to be of secondary importance to the ethical implications of the
investment.
Appropriate professional advice is sought Ythenever new investments are considered.
Risk management policy
We assess the rtsks that we fa￿, and implement procedures to manage those risks. in order to
protect the wellbeing of our organisation and our stakeholders (i.e. those who can affect or be affected
by the actions of our organisation).
While it is impossible to identify every risk that our organisation faces, the purpose of our risk
management policy is to identify those risks that expose our organisation to potentially significant
adverse cOnsequen￿s. or 'major risk5'.

Looking foThYard
The Resurgence Trust will continue to ft)ster a greater connection to Nature in order to enhan
personal wellbeing, support resilient communities and infomi social change towards regenerative
societies that enrich rather than deplete our natural environment.
The Earth is in crisis, and human activity is a main cause. Through the continued development of our
thriving educational programmes, Resurgence aims to facilitate deeper connections between Nature.
people, spirit and self, as well as changing perceptions and heightening consciousness.
As the crisis becomes more evident, the work of the Trust - raising awareness, highlighting solutions,
and facilitating transformation through a narrative of hope, resilience and positive change - is needed
more than ever. We continue our drive to engage more people with our work in a variety of innovative
vRys.
The Resurgence Trust's deep-rooted commitment to ecological wisdom, social justice and spirituallty
provides a strong and consistent ethical framework for all our activity. The Charity has a reputation as
a pioneer and a seminal place to learn about cutting-edge ideas and perspectives.
Resurgen￿ has a dedicated community of supporters, Staff and contributors. It is known for
high-qualty content across all its offerings. As we navigate a world of misinformation and
Al-generated content, Resurgence offers authenticity and quality.
The 60th anniversary of Resurgence in 2026 is an opportunity to reflect on the legacy of a unique
magazine that has been in publication since 1966, to celebrate the achievements of the Charty. and
to look to the future. We are planning a number of events and activities during 2026 including
one-day conference in Oxford, an exhibition about Resurgence, and a special issue of Resurgence &
Ecologist (guest edited by Satish Kumar) featuring curated content on the theme '60 Transformative
Years,.
The 60th anniversary is a springboard to creating a higher profile for the Charity as well as an
opportunity to reach more people and gain new members. We plan to amplify our messaging during
this year and increase our reach through all of our programmes, as well as through a more impactfvjl
use of video and audio content.

2 Accounting policies
Summary of slgnificant accountlng pollcies and key accounting estimatss
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out
below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise
stated.
Statement of compliance
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by
Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in
accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS
102)) (issued in October 2019) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard
applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
Basis of preparation
The Resurgence Trust meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and
liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the
relevant accounting policy notes. The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the
functional currency of the charity.
Golng concern
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charitys ability to continue as
going concern nor any significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carying value of assets held by
the charity.
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements. estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually
reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that
are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Page 21

## The Resurgence Trust 

## Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025 

## Income and endowments 

All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of the income receivable can be measured reliably. 

## Donations and legacies 

Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance by the charity before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that these conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period. 

Legacy gifts are recognised on a case by case basis following the grant of probate when the administrator/executor for the estate has communicated in writing both the amount and settlement date. In the event that the gift is in the form of an asset other than cash or a financial asset traded on a recognised stock exchange, recognition is subject to the value of the gift being reliably measurable with a degree of reasonable accuracy and the title to the asset having been transferred to the charity. 

## Expenditure 

All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs. 

## Raising funds 

These are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, the management of investments and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds. 

## Charitable activities 

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them. 

## Support costs 

Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, for example, allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage. 

## Governance costs 

These include the costs attributable to the charity's compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees meetings and reimbursed expenses.

Pensioris-ana other posr retlrement QiJligaiiDilS
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the
related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the
prepayment will lead to a reduction in fijture payments or a cash refund.
When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting
date in which the employees render the related service. the liability is measured on a discounted
present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is ￿cOgnised as an expense in the period in which
it arises.
Financial instruments
Classification
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the charity becomes a party to the
contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial liabilities and equity Instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual
a￿angeMentS entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in
the assets of the charity after deducting all of its liabilities.
Recognitlon and measurnmant
All financial assets and liabilities are initialty measured at transaction price (including transaction
costs), except for those flnancial assets classified as at fsir value through profit or loss, which are
initia15y measured at fair value (which is nomially the transaction price excluding transaction costs),
unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction. If an arrangement constitutes a financing
transaction, the financial asset or financial liability is measured at the present value of the future
payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are only offset in the statement of financial position when, and only
when there exists a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and the charity intends
either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultsneously.
Financial a55ets are derecognised when and only when a) the contractual rights to the cash flows
from the financial a55et expire or are settled, b) the charty transfers to another party substantially all
of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, or c) the charity, despite having retained
some, but not all. significant risks and rewards of ownership, has transferred control of the asset to
another paty.
Financial liabilities are derecognised only when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged.
cancelled or expires.
