BRUECREW

BrueCREW's aim is to restore the natural balance of Bruton's stretch of the river Brue as a haven for wildlife, and to promote our riverside as somewhere relaxing to spend time with nature. We will work to connect Bruton's historic town centre with footpaths upstream and downstream to enhance the river that gave Bruton its name, for the enjoyment of everyone who lives in or visits our town.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
