SUTTON WALLS CONSERVATION GROUP 

We support the conservation and management of Sutton Walls Hill Fort sited between Sutton St Nicholas and Marden Villages in the county of Herefordshire. We do this via meetings, talks, walks and conservation work on site.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

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 recently
