Company activities and impact

In the space provided below, please insert a general account of the company’s activities in the financial year to which the report relates, including a description of how they have benefited the community. The objects of the Company are to carry out activities which benefit the community and in particular (without limitation) individuals of all ages, abilities, gender, religion and cultural background who can potentially benefit from access to high quality outdoor field studies and educational experiences across the island of Ireland. This is performed through place-based programmes, educational resources and professional services; and to the overall enhancement of community well-being as a consequence. In the year to 31st January 2025, the directors are pleased that the level of activity increased compared to the prior year. The directors forecast increased revenue for the incoming year. Much of this is generated through the provision of educational programmes and experiences for schools and other community groups. This is a particularly rewarding element of the company’s activities because it offers the opportunity to introduce younger people to the environment, to help them appreciate and understand the importance of sustainability, the impact we have on it and the wider benefits a healthy environment can provide to the whole community. The company continues to foster good relationships with local schools and this is evidenced through the number of repeat programmes that are run. The directors believe that over time, a generation of school children will develop an understanding and appreciation of the range of benefits that a healthy environment provides, and hence the importance of preservation and sustainability. As each year passes, the outreach of the company continues to grow which is evidenced by increasing activity levels. The directors are confident that this will generate more interest from various stakeholders, which will open up further pathways for grant funding opportunities.

The company requests attendees to provide feedback on the courses and activities, and reviews the survey results to tailor and enhance the educational courses. The directors are pleased with the overwhelmingly positive feedback the company receives, which the number of repeat bookings pays testament to.
