WILLIAM ROBINSON GRAVETYE CHARITY 

Our mission is to secure and share the legacy of influential wild gardener William Robinson (1838-1935) with the public through Gravetye Estate, Sussex. Our vision is to improve biodiversity and to develop a Climate Change and disease resilient woodland landscape through exemplary stewardship and experimentation. We will help people to learn from nature through William Robinson's teachings.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received Government grants
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age
  • 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
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
miles
