NEW FOREST TRUST 

Our vision is that the New Forest Trust should become a focus for private and public support both locally and for the millions of people who visit the area. We aim to raise significant sums of money to fund projects designed to secure the future of the New Forest. Our efforts will complement and build on the many established organisations already working toward this goal.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

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
  • Income has been volatile recently
