Summary of the main activities in relation to these objects
During the 2024/25 financial year, the Trustees of Sustainable Climate followed up on talks, which had begun in 2023/24, with Eden:People+Planet. Sustainable Climate’s vision was to fund an Indigenous Tree Nursery in the Loita Hills in Kenya using Eden’s expertise in large scale landscape restoration. The concept was to grow seedlings from seeds sourced from the nearby Forest and use them to restore areas that had suffered from deforestation. The Nursery would provide much needed employment and training and ultimately would be used as a prototype to roll out other nurseries in the wider area adjoining the Forest.
A donation of £27,000 was made to Eden in August to fund the Nursery set up and the initial running costs. This donation immediately unlocked some matched funding for Eden and approximately doubled the funds available.
One of our Trustees went with experts from Eden to help select a Nursery site. They also looked at potential sites for further roll out as and when funds become available for more Nurseries. All cost related to this site visit have been met directly by the Trustee involved with no costs being incurred by Sustainable Climate.
The project offers a unique opportunity to make a meaningful impact on a fragile ecosystem currently under threat, and it holds the potential for significant long-term environmental and community benefits.

Financial Review
Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves
At the end of the year the reserves were £ 1,868.46
The trustees continue to consider the most appropriate way of holding the charity’s reserves so that a balance is struck between generating additional funds and ensuring guaranteed funds are available for our charitable purposes. The Trustees will continue to hold the reserves in the CAF Bank account.
Fundraising
Sustainable Climate raises funds from donations from individuals.
Trustees Responsibilities
The Charities Act 1993 requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the trust and of surplus of the trust for that period. In preparing those financial statements the trustees are required to:
-
Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently
-
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent
-
Prepare financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the trust will continue in existence.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper records, which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the trust. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the trust and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
