The Trust has continued to organise a programme of events during the year, both on site and at other venues, allowing for Covid restrictions. We have arranged an Easter Egg trail, sale of volunteer made bird and bat boxes, bird spotting trail, a bat watch, make your own Mothering Sunday giftm a Pumpkin Trail and we also opened during Heritage weekend in September.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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

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 recently but spending has been maintained
