Structure, governance and management continued…
The company is managed by a Board of Trustees composed of the directors and trustees. The Board comprises of a majority of students elected by the network, the remainder being appointed by the Board to bring particular skills to its business. The Board normally meets four times a year to review progress against financial and performance targets, to approve the annual budget and accounts and to discuss and approve the overall strategy of the organisation.
People and Planet Trust (registered charity number 1140864-1) ("PPT") is a linked charity to the company. Unless otherwise stated, all numbers in these accounts are the combined numbers of the company and People and Planet Trust.
Risk management
The trustees have considered the major risks to which the organisation is exposed and have reviewed those risks and the systems and procedures implemented in mitigation of those risks. The major risk is variability in funding which is mitigated by targeted increases in other sources of income, especially unrestricted funding, and ensuring that any new commitments do not exceed their funding.
Building on the individual fundraising work for 2022/3, we appointed a temporary individual fundraiser who ran a short appeal and developed our individual fundraising systems to create templates for future fundraisers.
Reserves Policy
The trustees have considered a reserves policy for the company and have agreed that reserves should be maintained at a level equivalent to three months operating expenditure (therefore approximately £120K for the combined amounts of reserves of PAPSAL and PPT). At the year-end date, the reserves gave a combined total of £121,328.
Public benefit
The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the company's aims and objectives, and in setting the scale and scope of activities for the year ahead.

Achievements and Performance
In the 2024/25 financial year we continued to offer in-person and on-line workshops. We ran our first major in person event, Power Shift, for the first time in 2019. The event was highly successful and was attended by 40 students from across the country.
Grant fundraising continued to form the basis of our core income, though we also received individual donations.
During the year ended 31 March 2025 the charity received grants totalling £472,380 (2024 £496,179) and donations totalling £38,676 (2024 £42,023). Expenditure totalled £511,553 (2024 £446,534) of which £408,667 (2024 £341,101) were staffing costs, with the balance representing project costs, support and fund-raising costs.
Staffing levels remained at the same level as 2024/5, with three internships offered and no other i
Activities
People & Planet is dedicated to achieving public benefit by supporting or undertaking work that is intended to contribute towards:
The eradication of global poverty,
Protection of the environment and the promotion of sustainable development, The upholding and extension of human rights, The advancement of citizenship.
During the reporting period, these objectives were taken forward by our continuing campaigns focussing on the root causes of climate change, encouraging sustainable living and migrant justice.
We completed the second year of our 2022/2026 strategic plan which we reviewed on a quarterly basis. We also held a two year review of the plan and implemented some recommendations from this review. All our campaigns continued to flourish.
6
Activities (Continued…)
The Climate Justice Team continued to see success through the Fossil Free Divest Campaign, which not only remains popular with students but can be a conduit to other People & Planet campaigns when a university divests. In the autumn, the campaign celebrated 10 years since the first divestment, and by the end of the financial year, 116 universities had divested from fossil fuels (77% of universities). The legacy of the successful post 92 programme saw more organising in these spaces and 12 campuses organising for this campaign.
The Fossil Free Careers campaign had a successful month of action in the autumn and achieved further success with 11 universities committing to excluding the fossil fuel and mining industry from recruitment activities and one making a partial commitment. Several more universities have shown an interest in making a commitment, with 75% of UK universities having an ethical careers policy and 22 Students' Unions backing the campaign. The campaign remains extremely popular with students with 32 active groups at the end of the financial year.
The Migrant Justice Team continued to actively campaign on 7 campuses, with a partial win at Stirling to add to the 6 campaign wins. 6 more campaign wins were revealed by UL research this year, taking the total to 12 border exclusion commitments. The campaign has worked with other divestment campaigns around the arms trade and Israeli apartheid and forged strong connections with the Student Action for Refugees (STAR) network.
The publication of the University League again proved to be a high point of the year, with universities actively engaging with People & Planet as they recognise the importance of scoring well. More and more students are telling us that League rankings have helped inform their choice of doing well, while the integration of our data into the Sunday Times university guide has helped raise the profile further.
The Movement Building year has also been very positive. Yet again, the student trustee elections provided an exciting opportunity for students to get actively involved in the running of the organisation. We developed a comprehensive communication strategy and were able to produce more campaign guides, leaflets and posters than we have for a long time to prepare for Freshers. The first Power Shift event since 2019, was a brilliant event, drawing 40 students to Chester for campaign workshops, skills learning and political education.
7
Activities (Continued…)
Fundraising has been more challenging in 2024/5 with the loss of some Climate Justice funding, though we achieved an increase in funding on the Migrant Justice side. In 2024/5 we began to search for new fundraising opportunities to replace this lost funding. We held a successful winter appeal that helped fundraise for Power Shift.
Plans for the future
Climate Justice campaigns
Fossil Free Divest
As Fossil Free grows closer to hitting the target of 80% of campuses divested, it continues to focus on post 92 and smaller universities where People & Planet haven’t traditionally worked. The campaign will continue to work with Divest Borders as both campaigns work on divestment issues. The 2025 University League has now got accountability measures embedded to ensure Universities keep to their commitments to divest from Fossil Fuels.
Fossil Free Careers
As Fossil Free Careers reaches the mid-point of the campaign, we plan to run a strategy review with student organisers to determine the campaign’s future direction, ensuring it is as strategic, engaging and winnable as possible. This will take the form of two in-person workshops and an online survey. We will continue to engage in our winning combination of supporting student groups to grow, upskill and mobilise, and engaging directly in negotiations with university decisionmakers, in order to convince them to implement our campaign demands. After the success of October 2024’s month of action, we intend to run a similar month of action in October 2025, supporting students to escalate the campaign on their campuses.
Migrant Justice
Divest Borders continues to strengthen despite a challenging environment for migrant justice campaigning. We are now up to 12 confirmed border exclusion criteria, with students campaigners contributing to a range of them alongside inside track and university league pressure. Groups are continuing to work across the country, both as Divest Borders groups and other groups running the campaign – for example out partnership with Student Action for Refugees (STAR) will allow us to access a large pool of students interested in migrant justice and apply their energy towards more structural campaigning. A partnership with research group Corporate Watch to redevelop the Border Divestment List will improve the accuracy and credibility of the list as a campaigning tool going forward, and we hope that this (as well as increasing precedence) will increase the willingness to divest among university finance departments. The university investment research to be run in December will furnish the network with an updated picture of universities’ complicity in border violence and allow us to see how student campaigning over the last few years has impacted the make-up of university portfolios. Additionally, we plan to expand our work with post-92 universities over the coming year.
Scoring for the 2025 University League will take place in the summer of 2025, with appeals happening in the Autumn. The League will be published in December 2025 as usual.
8
Movement Building
Movement Building work will have three strands going forward. We will be supporting campaign events such as strategy days while building up to Power Shift in the summer of 2026. We will also be working with campaign teams to look at ways to strengthen the network, in particular, P&P groups. And we will develop or communication strategy across multiple channels in order to boost awareness of group activities and recruit new members.
Fundraising
Fundraising efforts will mainly focus on prospecting for and applying for new grants to help us manage our financial situation effectively. There will also be a donor fundraising drive in the autumn and another appeal by the end of the financial year.
Strategy
In the summer of 2025 we will begin the process of developing our next four year strategy. This will involve working with teams, having away days and setting up a Strategy Working Party.

Trustees' responsibilities in relation to the financial statements
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the charity's financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing financial statements giving a true and fair view, the trustees must follow best practice and:
Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; State whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed,
Subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the charity and which enable them to ascertain the financial position of the charity and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 1993, the Charity (Accounts and Report) Regulations and the provisions of the trust need. The trustees are responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

1 Accounting policies
Charity information

The company is also registered with the Charities Commission for England and Wales. People & Planet Student Activities Limited is a linked charity with People and Planet Trust as recognised by the Charities Commission for England and Wales.
Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "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)" (effective 1 January 2019). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
The accounts are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the accounts.
Incoming resources
Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.
14
PEOPLE & PLANET STUDENT ACTIVITIES LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Resources expended
All expenditure is included on an accruals basis and is recognised when there is a legal or constructive obligation to do so.
Charitable activities include expenditure associated with meeting its charitable objectives. This includes the cost of grant making, and direct provision of charitable services.
Governance costs include those incurred in the governance of the charity and its assets and are primarily associated with constitutional and statutory requirements.
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Plant and equipment: 5 years straight line
Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
Cash and cash equivalents
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
