The trustees present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2025.
Objectives and Activities

To advance the education of the public on the subject of retreating glaciers due to climate change by providing a historical archive and documentation of glaciers before they disappear so as to provide and educational tool for future generations.
Significant Activities

The emphasis was on communications about environmental science and encouraging commitments to action on the environment from governments and populations. The Trustees are very encouraged to note a further year of donations from a variety of corporations, following on from last year's successes.
Public Benefit

Project Pressure Archive Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Project Pressure Archive For The Year Ended 30 September 2025
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 30 September 2025.
Responsibilities and Basis of Report
As the charity trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law), you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (“the 2006 Act”).
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent Examiner's Statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair view' which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
-
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
