South Lakeland Action on Climate Change – towards transition

Charity Commission no. 1202875

Annual Accounts 2025

Supplementary Notes

SLACC Charitable Incorporated Organisation No 1202875 In July 2023 we sought and received approval to establish this CIO charity. It retains the name of our existing unincorporated charity, South Lakes Action on Climate Change – towards transition. Due to ongoing legal action, we had to retain the funds for our Cumbria Coal Mine Campaign in our original organisation. Over 2023, with the approval of our funders, we transferred the remainder of our funds into this organisation.

The Kendal Eddington CIC is asset locked to the SLACC CIO. In 2025 we received no income and made no expenditure from or to them.

Signed

Alan Lovett, SLACC-tt Treasurer 15th March 2026
