PROVIDING EDUCATION AND ACTIVITIES FOR PEOPLE AGE 10-28 WHO LIVE, WORK OR ARE INTERESTED IN THE COUNTRYSIDE
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is completely male

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
