The Reserves Policy was updated at the end of 2025 and approved at the January 2026 board meeting. The minimum reserves figure was increased to £23,700, comprising £11,000 to cover six months unrestricted expenditure plus £12,700 to reflect potential redundancy costs for the four staff all of whom by mid-2026 will have accumulated at least two years’ service. Unrestricted Reserves at the end of 2025 were £55,716. Our Campaign staff’s work continues to be funded mostly by grants. It has become clear that the funding landscape has become more challenging in recent months. Whereas we have secured sufficient funding to fully support our projects through 2026, the situation beyond that looks more uncertain at the time of writing (April 2026). The ability to maintain staffing at the current level beyond the end of 2026 is under review. All fund balances were positive at the end of 2025. Income from supporters continues to hold up well and to be at a sufficient level to support our core operations, and thus the trustees are confident that the charity remains a going concern. ## **Governance** The charity continues to operate according to the Governing Document adopted in 2020. Minor amendments to those articles, to remove sexist wording, were agreed in 2023. Each of the charity’s policies is now assigned to a trustee, or group of trustees, and all are reviewed annually. ## **Risk assessment** The risk register is reviewed before each Board meeting and items added to the agenda accordingly. The key risks being managed by the Trustees are our financial planning, including attaining the right balance between **13/07/2026** Page **4** of **7** ON Directors' Report 2025 Final - signed on original funding and expenditure going forward, given the challenging funding environment (see also Reserves section above). Succession planning is also a key focus as our Chair needs to step down at the end of 2026 as well as our Treasurer. The Treasurer role is being transitioned to another trustee during 2026 to ensure a smooth handover process. A number of candidates are being explored for the role of Chair. ## **Chairs’ Report 2025** In this past year, 2025, Operation Noah has continued its work of encouraging and challenging the Church—of all denominations—in the UK to care for creation and to respond to the climate crisis prophetically and with courage. The campaign team has remained at the same strength of three full-time employees and one part time, and with the same personnel as last year. The board continues to meet via Zoom for most our meetings, but twice a year in person with others joining via Zoom (i.e., a hybrid meeting). The staff continue to work both remotely and in the office in Romero House. In 2025 we continued our ongoing campaigns: Church Investment, Church Land Use, Big Bank Switch. In addition, our Divestment campaign, which the Chair’s report of last year signalled that we had begun winding down, saw further success—even as it was being concluded. ## **Divestment Campaign** **December** witnessed the divestment from fossil fuels of the last diocese in the Church of England which still held such investments. Following the decision in the summer of 2023 of the Church’s National Investing Bodies, the Church Commissioners and the Pensions Board, to end their campaign of engagement with oil and gas companies and take their money out of them, a few individual dioceses continued to hold investments in oil and gas companies. Following the Diocese of Chichester decision to divest in December of this year, none of the forty-two Church of England dioceses holds any longer investments in fossil fuels. This marks a fitting end to our Divestment Campaign. ## **Church Investment Campaign** In **February** , we published a toolkit, Catholic Social Teaching and Inves�ng in Climate Solu�ons. This publica�on was accompanied with a four-part webinar series. Aimed at helping Catholic religious orders and dioceses accelerate investment in climate solu�ons, the toolkit and webinar series led to the forma�on of a Catholic Investors’ Forum for the sharing of experiences among investors. We hope to expand on this work in the future. **February** also witnessed the publica�on of Where your Treasure is, a resource for Churches on money and the climate crisis. Wri�en for small groups, the Bible Study course could be used in Lent or the Season of Crea�on or any�me a Church community wanted to explore these important ma�ers. Our Green Investment Declara�on, launched in June of 2025, showed substan�al growth this year. In **March** , the Quakers of Britain signed the declara�on and allocated 8% of their investments to renewable energy projects. Throughout the year we experienced fantas�c engagement across various denomina�ons with our webinar series for Church investors and the accompanying ecumenical toolkit for campaigners, Making your Church’s money work for God’s Crea�on. Then in **December** the World Council of Churches—a fellowship of 356 member Churches represen�ng more than half a billion Chris�ans—announced that they would endorse the Green Investment Declara�on. ## **Church Land Use Campaign** In **June** we hand-delivered an open le�er, with over 500 signatures, to Church leaders in London, Edinburgh and Cardiff, calling on all UK Churches, to achieve net zero land emissions by 2030. Churches in the UK together own 1% of the land. Leaders of the Roman Catholic Church in England and Wales, the Church of England, the Church in Wales, the Church of Scotland, Quakers in Britain and the Methodist Church of Great Bri�an all received copies of the le�er. We are also calling on denomina�ons and dioceses to map where their land is located, how **13/07/2026** Page **5** of **7** ON Directors' Report 2025 Final - signed on original it is being used and which areas are protected, and to have this informa�on publicly available by 2030. O�en this informa�on is unavailable. ## **Big Bank Switch** As reported last year, in partnership with JustMoney Movement, Just Love and Laudato Si we have con�nued our campaign to ask individual Chris�ans, as well as local Churches, to take their money out of banks that con�nue to finance the extrac�on of fossil fuels, including many high street banks, and to bank instead with those who refuse do so. In par�cular, we engaged with Na�onwide to determine whether its acquisi�on of Virgin Money would change the policies of the la�er. ## **Other News** In **May** Opera�on Noah co-hosted, along with JustMoney Movement, LSM and Urgewald, a delega�on from the Centre for Energy, Ecology and Development (CEED) in the Philippines, who came to the UK to a�end the AGMs of HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank and to challenge both banks’ financing of destruc�ve oil drilling in the environmentally sensi�ve Cape Verde Passage. Individual trustees and staff joined the CEED delega�on in protests outside the AGMs as shareholders arrived. A joint press release was prominently covered by the Church Times. CEED delegates also spoke at the Na�onal Jus�ce and Peace Network Environment Conference during their visit. Alongside encouraging UK Churches and Bri�sh Chris�ans to divest from fossil fuels and to invest in climate solu�ons, standing alongside Chris�ans of the majority world and suppor�ng their efforts to halt oil and gas expansion is an important part of our work. **July** also witnessed the Act Now, Change Forever mass lobby of Parliament. ON par�cipated in this event. In the lead up to this day, over 100 of our supporters responded to a le�er from economist Ann Pe�for, one of our patrons, who asked our supporters to call on their MPs to stop the Rosebank oil field. Despite much misinforma�on to the contrary, reopening this field will neither lower energy bills nor improve energy security. Throughout the year we sent speakers and representa�ves to various conferences and fes�vals. These included the Greenbelt and New Wine fes�vals, Hazelnut Community’s Landscapes Conference, the Wild Summit, the Associa�on of Provincial Bursers’ Conference, the Na�onal Jus�ce and Peace Network Conference and the Church of England’s Land Conference. Each of these offered opportuni�es to meet with supporters, explain our work to poten�al new supporters and, most importantly, challenge and encourage Chris�ans in their response to the climate crisis. ## **Acknowledgements:** We are grateful to Gower Street, the Franciscan Sisters of Mary, Friends Provident Founda�on, the Sisters of St Joseph of Peace, the Jesuits in Britain and the Society of the Holy Child Jesus for the grant funding we received from them during 2025. We also con�nue to be very fortunate in having regular donor supporters who give to the unrestricted funds that are needed to cover the ongoing running costs of Opera�on Noah. ## - **Ruth Jarman** Noah administrator during the past year. She has ensured that our administra�on con�nues to run smoothly, that enquiries and requests for resources are responded to promptly and has chased busy trustees respond to their emails in a �mely fashion. **Cameron Conant** has con�nued as Communica�ons Officer, although he stood down as a trustee at the end of the year. Cameron con�nues to do great work on social media and the newsle�er. We con�nue to be delighted with our strong team of full and part-�me campaigners: **Clare Fussell (director), Sharon Hall (manager), Bokani Tshidzu** and **David Bri�on (campaigners).** - **Trustees:** throughout 2025. **Dr Mar�n Poulsom** con�nued to be responsible for oversight of the Bright Now campaign. Throughout the second half of the year, our Treasurer, **David Miller,** began the process of handing over the role to another trustee **Rebecca Warren.** She is now our treasurer, although David has, as in **13/07/2026** Page **6** of **7** ON Directors' Report 2025 Final - signed on original previous years, produced our submission to the UK Charity Commission. **Dr Darrell Hannah** has remained as Chair of Trustees, although this is his last year and plans are being formed for the future chair. - In October **Mrs Sarah Komashko** stepped down from the board in order to prepare for motherhood. **Mr Ma�hew King** joined the board in April. Towards the end of the year we went through a process of recruitment for the trustee board. The results of which will be reflected in next year’s report. We con�nue to have a strong team of all ages and with a good spread of exper�se and experience. ## **Impact Benefit Statement** In line with our charitable object to conserve, protect and improve the environment, in light of the climate crisis, we have worked this year to inspire and encourage church action to invest in land use that benefits climate and nature, as well as move funds into climate solutions and away from fossil fuels. This has the aim of providing considerable social benefit through providing moral leadership in support of an accelerated green transition, and leaving fossil fuels in the ground. ## **Recruitment and induction of trustees** Trustees are selected on the basis of their expertise, skills and knowledge and upon the benefits that these can bring to the Charity. New trustees are briefed on the activities of the Charity by other trustees and by the staff; their attention is drawn in particular to their legal obligations under Charity Law and the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit. The Charity has taken advantage of the small companies’ exemption in preparing the report above. This Annual Report, and the associated Annual Accounts, were both approved at the meeting of the Trustees held on 13 July 2026; the Directors / Trustees in office at that date were: Revd Dr Darrell Hannah Revd Dr Martin Poulsom Mr David Miller Ms Shilpita Mathews Revd Dr Hannah Malcolm Ms Rebecca Warren Mr Michael Oliver Mrs Rebecca MacDonald Mr Matthew King Mr Andrew Jenkins Mr Matthew Jeziorski Mrs Nicola Bull Miss Abigail Taylor This report was signed on behalf of the Directors / Trustees by: ## _**[signed on original]**_ Revd Dr Darrell D Hannah 13 July 2026 **13/07/2026** Page **7** of **7** ON Directors' Report 2025 Final - signed on original ## **OPERATION NOAH** **Charitable Company Registration number 06458814 Registered Charity in England & Wales number 1138101** ## **ACCOUNTS FOR FINANCIAL YEAR 1st JANUARY 2025 to 31st DECEMBER 2025** ON Accounts 2025 Final - signed version 1 of 8 13 July 26 ## **Section A Statement of financial activities** |Guid
