Below are details of how many volunteers we hosted and how many trails we reopened and cleaned in 2025. Bearing in mind we no longer have teams of volunteers as before, we cleaned more than I imaged.
In other news, it seems that our now ex accountant had never informed us of our tax situation resulting in seven years of non payment of tax. Plus a penalty, we are now trying to pay off this enormous debt. It seems that even if you have no income, you still have to pay tax. This has made us think hard about the future of Skopelos Trails. Soon, we will have no spare room in which to house volunteers as we are moving to smaller accommodation. Someone else wanted to take over the reigns but they have no spare accommodation or money to pay the regular tax of 400 euros a year we now realize we have to pay. Yes, my friends, on top of buying all the equipment required, hosting and working alongside volunteers and paying for their meals, paying for petrol for the machines and for the car as well as website expenses, it seems the gods are still not content.
