BLACK ENVIRONMENT NETWORK

BEN is established to promote full ethnic participation in the built and natural environment. BEN works to integrate social, cultural and environmental concerns in the context of sustainable development. We work across diverse sectors. Our current themes integrate the areas of natural environment, the built environment, heritage, social justice, health and housing.

Analysis by Giving is Great

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
Latest accounts are overdue for filing and returns have been filed late on 5 occasions over the last 5 years
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
