Going concern

Affirmed

“Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events

• “getting a final revised deal agreed with Woodland Trust and approved by the members at the AGM in September 2024”
• “significant revision of the Foundation's constitution also approved at the AGM”
• “deciding to embark on a big new peatland restoration project around Loch Awe on Glencanisp estate”
• “getting the agreement of our last two security holders, National Heritage Lottery Fund and Highlands and Islands Enterprise, to release their standard security over the Foundation and its landholding”
• “having the inaugural half-marathon Race to the Base run, organised by a local team, run in part over Foundation land with great success and competence.”
• “The formal Landscape Conservation Management Agreement, which is the umbrella for all of this, was formally signed in July of 2025.”
• “During the year, we were able to persuade the Lottery to give up its standard security over the estates and they did so readily.”
• “HIE did to their credit give up their security.”
• “Around 250 runners took part in the inaugural half marathon from Lochinver harbour to Suilven and back in May 2025.”
• “In the end, they solved our problem by buying the units themselves and thus we were able to generate about an extra £80,000 of income.”
• “Sadly, one of our newly elected directors, Ann O'Keefe, who had brought great enthusiasm and her Aussie can-do spirit to the Foundation, became seriously ill quite suddenly and died shortly afterwards.”
• “the Board ended the year in a positive mood, racing to get the deal with Woodland Trust over the line and it was signed just after the FY end.”
• “We also marched ahead with a new and bigger peatland restoration project around Loch Awe with backing from NatureScot, using a Peatland Action grant topped up with money of our own as we did for the Cul Mor project.”
• “with the next Race to the Base announced for May 2026.”
