An introduction from our Chair, Dr Alister scott
We are not just facing a climate and nature crisis, but a climate and nature communications crisis.
At Rewriting Earth we have always believed that change at scale requires more than facts. Humans are storytelling creatures. For tens of thousands of years, we’ve made sense of the world through narrative, from cave paintings to Netflix, from fairy tales to political speeches. Stories activate parts of the brain that help us feel, not just think.
In 2025, we have seen the power of Rewriting Earth as a creative agency for the planet - telling stories, framing messaging in ways that cut through.
And in times of political polarisation, algorithms and echo chambers it is crucial to reach across divides and engage people across the spectrum in ways that resonate with them at an emotional level.
After years of building our reputation, our partnerships and our craft, 2025 marked another step in . We are in a stronger place than ever financially and that stability gives us the freedom to think bigger and move faster.
This year saw the launch of Save Our Grassroots, the extraordinary success of A Tail of Two Dogs (which reached 15 million people and earned 3.6 million likes, becoming our most successful piece of content to date), and the expansion of our partnerships across the games industry, sport, conservation and animal welfare sectors all speak to the breadth and depth of what we can achieve.
We continued to demonstrate that impact does not require compromise. Whether that was producing 19 pieces of content in 48 hours, a panel on stage at Innovation Zero, or a threeway partnership that won Google's Choice Award and the Changemaker Award at Playing for the Planet, we are consistently finding ways to make environmental issues resonate with the widest possible audiences.
As we look to the year ahead, I remain energised by what our small but formidable team is building, and by the remarkable network of partners, creators, influencers, campaigners and organisations who collectively contribute to addressing the climate and nature communications crisis.

Looking back at our activities in 2025
2025 has been our most impactful year yet. We reached 19,370,898 people across our campaigns and generated 4,262,758 engagements. We secured multi-year funding for both our operations and Save Our Grassroots, grew our team, and delivered some of the most impactful work in our history.
A Tail of Two Dogs, our short film created with Naturewatch Foundation and Fire Lily Studio, reached over 15 million views (not including views from over 200k shares), and 3.6 million likes, making it our most successful piece of content ever. Save Our Grassroots launched with £100,000 in match funding and 100,000 trees pledged, helping grassroots clubs across the UK tackle flooding through nature-based solutions. Longleaf Valley, our partnership with TreesPlease Games and Sea Shepherd, won three major awards at the Green Game Summit 2025: Google’s Choice Award, Best Small Studio, and the Changemaker Award.
In a huge moment for the Antarctic ecosystem, following our Sea Shepherd krill campaign, Holland & Barrett committed to removing krill-based products from over 1,600 stores.
Everything we do is about partnership and collaboration. We worked with Naturewatch Foundation, Four Paws UK, Sea Shepherd, TreesPlease Games, Sports for Nature signatories, Blacksands and a host of creators, influencers and campaigners to make 2025 count. For a team of our size, the scale of what we achieved continues to be something we are enormously proud of.

Achievements and Performance - What Rewriting Earth has achieved in 2025
Connecting grassroots realities to the bigger climate story
The next phase of Save Our Grassroots launched in 2025. We see a huge opportunity to connect practical, on the ground community action with the wider story of tackling climate change and nature decline. The launch took place at Hingley Fields, chosen to illustrate that the problem of flooded and unusable pitches is one that nature-based solutions can often solve. Our match funding programme is now operational, with £100,000 available and 100,000 trees pledged, giving clubs the practical support they need to protect their green spaces for good and create new homes for wildlife.
Save Our Grassroots creates an easy entry point for raising awareness on the effects of climate change because it is apolitical and touches on an area that is dear to many people’s hearts and with which there are strong emotional associations - namely grassroots sports.
The power of empathy
We worked with Naturewatch Foundation on A Tail of Two Dogs with Naturewatch Foundation and Fire Lily Studio. The short film follows two dogs whose lives could not be more different: Toby, a family dog surrounded by love and safety, and 43, a beagle spending his life behind laboratory doors, never knowing grass or kindness. Drawing on real practices such as 90-day pesticide tests on beagles that often yield no new human safety benefit, the story was designed to humanise the issue of animal testing, expose its realities, and mobilise public pressure to end the use of dogs in scientific experiments. We then worked with influencers, creators and social media to ensure the story reached beyond the screen and into people's hearts. The film reached 15 million views and 3.6 million likes, making it our most successful piece of content to date by a significant margin.

Achievements and Performance - What Rewriting Earth has achieved in 2025
Sea Shepherd - corporate shift and playing games
Ourongoing relationship with Sea Shepherd bore further fruit in 2025. Holland & Barrett's commitment to removing krill-based products from over 1,600 stores followed a campaign we helped bring to life, building on the 10-panel, 12-language comic we created in 2024 to grow the Krill Task Force. Krill sits at the foundation of marine ecosystems, and this result creates a powerful signal within the market. Since our collaboration, DN and Time Health have all but wiped out Krill products from Germany too, one of the largest markets internationally.
Longleaf Valley brought together TreesPlease Games, Rewriting Earth and Sea Shepherd in a three-way partnership between the games industry, storytelling and environmental impact. Our writers, Paul Goodenough and Corey Brotherson, crafted the narrative and dialogue, weaving Sea Shepherd's mission into an engaging player experience. A comic created with Wawawiwa supported the launch with warmth and accessibility. The project won three major awards at the Green Game Summit 2025: Google’s Choice Award, Best Small Studio, and the Changemaker Award.
In partnership with the UN - Sports for Nature
Working alongside UNEPand the Sports for Nature signatories, we created an asset toolkit and shaped a campaign - it’s in our nature - enabling all Sports for Nature signatories to produce bespoke content for their own channels, helping them promote their environmental work to an audience of 1.1 million people.
Sharing our learning at Innovation Zero
Paul Goodenough joined Catherine Ellis from BAFTA, TV presenter and author Patrick Aryee, and Vicki Harding of the Mission Possible Partnership on stage at Innovation Zero at London Olympia, recognised as a leading expert in environmental communications.
Project Highwater - a creator ecosystem
Towards theendofthe yearwe began working with others in the sector to build a funded, evidence-driven ecosystem of content creators to impact and hopefully steer national conversations around our planet. We’ve named it Project Highwater and we feel there is an urgent need to set up the structures to counter fake news, engage polarised audiences and positively reshape narratives in the UK, in a context of reducing saliency of climate change among the British public.

Financial Review
Performance
In the year total income was £491,892.
Notes on income and expenditure:
Rewriting Earth has continued to strengthen collaborations and partnerships. This has enabled the activities and achievements outlined above to be achieved. The charity has maintained a very lean operation in order to maintain a low cost base while delivering on its core mission. Income was a mixture of unrestricted funding and restricted grants for specific projects.
The charity is extremely grateful to those individuals and organisations who have bought into Rewriting Earth’s vision and have supported our work in 2025.
Governance costs were £0. None of the trustees have been paid any remuneration, reimbursed for any expenses or received any other benefits during 2025.
Key risks at the start of 2026 are:
1. Medium and long-term funding
We are keen to continue growing and developing a larger, more diverse portfolio of funding in 2025 and beyond in order to deliver on our mission.
Actions to control/mitigate:
a) Increase focus on gaining new major funding from trusts, foundations, NGOs and philanthropists including multi-annual commitments
b) Nurture our existing key funder relationships, including through delivering strong impact in our work
c) Use unrestricted income to support the growth and sustainability of the charity

Financial Review
2. Financial risk related to low reserves
Reserves need to be built in order to mitigate financial risk. The trustees acknowledge that this will take time. In the meantime, the trustees are cognisant of cashflow issues and the need for regular and timely forecasting.
Actions to control/mitigate:
-
a) See risk 1
-
b) The charity needs to ensure that it remains lean and efficient
-
c) Maintain financial systems including shift to Xero
-
d) Regular, timely review of cashflow, income and expenditure, and forecasts with early corrective action if needed
-
e) Monitoring of reserves levels on a quarterly basis
Reserves Policy
The Trustees have set a desired unrestricted reserves position of at least 3 months of operating costs. Based on 2025 unrestricted expenditure, this would be £71,710. As at 31 December 2025 unrestricted reserves were £228,500. Trustees recognise that the charity needs to have sufficient cash and reserves to absorb short term fluctuations in income.

Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31st December 2025
1.Accounting Policies
Basis of preparing the financial statements
Rewriting Earth is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation in England / Wales. The address of the registered office is given in the charity information in the front section of these financial statements. The nature of the charity’s operations and principal activities are detailed in the Trustees Annual Report.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
Income
All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received.
For donations to be recognised the charity will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement date in writing. If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level of performance before entitlement can be obtained then income is deferred until those conditions are fully met or the fulfilment of those conditions is within the control of the charity and it is probable that they will be fulfilled.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Support costs are those that assist the work of the charity but do not directly represent charitable activities and include office costs, governance costs, administrative payroll costs. They are incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity and include project management carried out at Headquarters. Where support costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources.
Debtors and creditors receivable / payable within one year
Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure.
Employee benefits
When employees have rendered service to the charity, short-term employee benefits to which the employees are entitled are recognised at the undiscounted amount expected to be paid in exchange for that service.
The charity operates a defined contribution plan for the benefit of its employees. Contributions are expensed as they become payable.
Taxation
The charity is an exempt charity within the meaning of schedule 3 of the Charities Act 2011 and is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes.

Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist.
