HABITATS & HERITAGE

Habitats & Heritage's activities include bringing people together to learn about the environment and heritage, delivering projects which protect and enhance the local environment and heritage and encourage sustainable behaviour, and providing a capacity building service and representation for the local third sector in relation to environmental and sustainability issues.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government and there are significant future grants due to be received
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
