WORCESTERSHIRE BIOLOGICAL RECORDS CENTRE 

A not-for-profit service working in partnership, which collects, collates, manages and disseminates quality information relating to the wildlife, wildlife sites and habitats for Worestershire for the public benefit.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • 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
