PETT LEVEL PRESERVATION TRUST

Preservation of 24 acres of land at Pett Level including clearing scrub and carrying out other maintenance for the benefit of the public and for general access

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received backing from a grant maker recently
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years, despite a decline more recently
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There have been multiple defaults for filing returns
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
