CLEANUP UNITED KINGDOM 

CleanupUK's mission is to tackle the problem of litter by encouraging the activities of volunteer litter collecting groups throughout the UK and, in particular, by helping those people living in more deprived areas improve their lives by dealing with the blight of litter that so often drags these areas down.

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
  • 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
