GREEN THING TRUST

GREEN THING TRUST EXISTS TO SUPPORT INITIATIVES THAT "INSPIRE PEOPLE TO LEAD A GREENER LIFE".
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Accounts have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
