Honeyguide Charitable Trust

A donation to a local conservation project, of £25 per person, has been part of the holiday price ever since the start of Honeyguide in 1991, and this increases to £30 with each holiday in 2008. To date, we have raised £48,013 for conservation projects, mostly in Europe.

The Honeyguide Wildlife Trust Limited was registered as a charity in June 2004, registered charity number 1104604. The object of the charity, in summary, is "To help conserve … the natural environment and wildlife”.

The purpose, quite simply, is to claim tax from the Inland Revenue against the contributions from Honeyguiders. This can raise an additional 28p in the pound, and we then make the usual donations with the holidays a bit bigger for LPO, SEO, GOB, HOS, ROS and so on. In a typical year, this could raise about an additional £900 for conservation.

Trustees of the charitable trust are Helen Crowder, Malcolm Crowder (secretary) and Chris Durdin (chairman).

We would be very grateful if everyone booking a holiday who is a UK taxpayer could complete the simple gift aid declaration on the booking form.

We also welcome additional donations or legacies through the Honeyguide charity.

We are very grateful to the Wildlife Outreach Network in Essex, which has already contributed £2,100 through the Honeyguide Wildlife Charitable Trust.

The accounts here are to September 2005, the charity's first full year of operation. The lack of administration expenses for the charitable trust is because these were covered by Honeyguide Wildlife Holidays Ltd and Malcolm Crowder Ltd so that maximum funds could be sent to the 'sharp end' - the various conservation projects we support.
