Woodlanders has grown from a dream to bring people and land together in a virtuous relationship, where people and place both benefit, are enriched and create beauty. These dreams have been grounded in the hard realities of careers in ecology, conservation, therapy, community development and working with all kinds of people.
We continue to evolve and grow, just like the woods. We try things out, make some mistakes, and work on new and different projects. Through all of that we keep trying to be authentic to ourselves, to listen to the land and to hear the people who come to the woods. We love what we do! And we want to share it with others so that you too can be more connected to this dear, beautiful world and all the lovely beings that live in it. We are a social enterprise, which means we sell services, but we do not take any private profit from doing so. Instead we reinvest any surpluses in our social and environmental purposes. Our aims are charitable so that we are able to apply for grant funding to work with those who can most benefit from what we offer. Most of our sessions for local people are grant funded. |
The Legal Bits
Neroche Woodlanders is a Community Benefit Society, originally registered in 2012. We re-registered with new rules in 2021 as the law had changed; our registered number is 8719. Registration details are held with Financial Conduct Authority, rather than Companies House, and we are still governed by company law. Our rules can be seen here. Our registered name is Neroche Woodlanders Limited. We have charitable purposes, but community benefit societies cannot be charities, so we have 'exempt charity status' with HMRC. We have a Shareholder Membership and our day to day activities are governed by a Board of Directors. We work with a team of freelance associates and volunteers who help to create, design and run everything we do. Our annual accounts are completed by local accountants Lentells to make sure we do what we need to. |
