Year Ending: 31 March 2025

Company activities and impact

A significant year for the Elmley Nature Reserve CIC with the agreement of a Heritage Lottery Fund grant and a significant donation. The combination of funds has enabled significant investment in a new warden’s vehicle, electric minibus and nature observation equipment alongside significant outreach work – every local school has sent a year 5 or 6 class to Elmley and completed our ‘marsh school’ linking children with their local environment. Further outreach work through these projects have provided opportunity for mental health improvement, jobs for young people with nature guide internship and more wardening provision. Routine operations have grown with more gate tickets sold and increased Friends of Elmley. The next year will be focused on sustaining these activities within budget.

Consultation with stakeholders

Stakeholders are ECT (Conservation) Ltd and the resident family who run the Reserve, as well as the Friends of Elmley and wider public visitors to the Reserve. The key consultation is through the company’s website and via the email address info@elmleynaturereserve.co.uk advertised on our website and our seasonal Newsletter which provides updates and seeks feedback. Informal feedback is sought on a daily basis from visitors through conversations on the Reserve, entry road and in the communal car park.

Directors' remuneration

No remuneration was received
