THE HERPETOLOGICAL CONSERVATION TRUST

To further the conservation of the UKs native amphibians and reptiles via conservation management, advocacy, research and education throughout the British Isles, Europe and elsewhere in the world.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity only provides its support via other charities
The Board is predominantly 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
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
