|---|---|
| The charity spent much of the funds raised since it was founded on sea turtle conservation projects in 2022. In 2024 the charity’s activities have concentrated on: - completing branding, marketing, website & social media messaging - fundraising – a modest increase in cash reserves (£4.7k) - trying to identify smaller, UK based conservation projects, rather than funding a big project as we did in 2022 The charity trustees have complied with the duty in section 4 of the Charities Act 2006 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission. Whilst we have not made any grants this year, we have increased our social media messaging improving awareness of conservation. |
