Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

Significant events
- “We acquired an additional 4 ha of land adjacent to Yoesden Reserve for chalk grassland restoration.”
- “An adder was filmed using the new 'Adder Tunnel' at Greenham. This is highly likely to be the first ever record of this occurring in the UK.”
- “Successful sales of BNG units at both Duxford Old River and Ludgershall Habitat Banks, generating funds to restore nature.”
- “2024 saw the installation of two adder tunnels to promote movement of adders across parts of Greenham Common which had been previously disconnected. This new and innovative project is a first for the UK.”
- “We appointed new trustees Simon Dickson and Subash Ludhra, who bring a wealth of fundraising, business operations, Health & Safety and EEDIB to the Board.”
- “We successfully promoted 16 internal candidates to new or higher level roles.”
- “Full deployed Windows 11 across all users.”
- “Introduced new low energy photocopiers which reduces power consumption and toner cartridges are replaced with foil bags.”
- “We moved the fleet over from Land Rovers to Isuzus with reduced carbon footprint.”
- “Total income was £10,940k. (including the sale of The Lodge office building). Excluding those sales proceeds, this represents a 3.5% increase on the previous year (£8,734k). The sale of The Lodge as an exceptional item resulted in additional income of £1,900k.”
