THE PROTIMOS EDUCATIONAL TRUST
Protimos provides access to justice, by provision of lawyers and legal empowerment programmes, to indigenous and marginalised communities, to protect them from the unjust exploitation of their natural and cultural heritage.
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that total income increased to £322,170 while total expenditure rose to £245,785, resulting in a net surplus for the year. However, the general unrestricted fund remains in a negative balance of £7,345, and the trustees acknowledge that the charity's reserves policy target of approximately £45,000 has not been achieved. The trustees consider the charity to be a going concern based on anticipated cash flows sufficient to meet debts as they fall due.
