the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider

against the Cumbria Coalmine which resulted
in a high court judgement that quashed the
planning permission. As at the end of 2024
there was still a possibility of the mining
company submitting new information and the
planning permission being redetermined.
If the position at end 2024 stands through
2025 the Charity’s work will have prevented
the emission of approximately 220 million
tonnes of greenhouse gases and set a positive
precedent to prevent harm caused by fossil
fuel extraction.
This will help beneficiaries in South Lakeland
and Cumbria who live in flood prone areas. It
has also served to educate the local and
national public about alternatives to fossil fuel
extraction and use, and the need for a just
transition to a green economy that protects
the physical and natural environment.| ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |Achievements against
