| The autumn-winter edition of Nature's Home |
THE RSPB made a surplus of £24.3-million during 2020-21, according to the latest edition of its quarterly magazine, Nature's Home.
Its income from the likes of membership subscriptions, legacies, grants and trading activities came in at £113.9-million.
Meanwhile, its expenditure on managing nature reserves, staffing, research and generally flying the flag for bird conservation amounted to £89.6-million.
Says the charity's treasurer, Robert Cubbage: "The operating restrictions introduced to combat covid-19 and the resulting closure of a wide range of our income-generating activities could have had a significant financial impact.
"However, we were able to mitigate much of this loss to end the year in a financially resilient position."
Mr Cubbage acknowledges that the Government's Job Retention Scheme - furlough - was a boon.
The RSPB's membership stands at just over 1.1-million.
