RICHMONDSHIRE LANDSCAPE TRUST

Our land management activities continue with tree and hedge planting as well as the maintenance of meadow land and ponds. We are also maintaining boundaries and have sadly had to remove some ash trees due to ash dieback this year. Our fund raising, planting and other activities can now be followed on our website https://www.richmondshirelandscapetrust.org.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
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 gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
There are 13 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period but has stabilised more recently
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
