ECOACTIVE

We undertake sessions in schools and workshops with local community groups. In the course of these, we impart information, offer a range of possible courses of action and show how individuals can have a positive impact on their local environment and community, and gain confidence through their understanding of sustainability issues and possible solutions.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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 dynamic in terms of composition

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 was lower than spending in the latest year
