    CLEAN RIVERS TRUST

    All aspects of pollution clean up and education
    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

    Financial issues to consider:

    • Spending is declining
    • Income has been volatile recently
    • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
