SHEPRETH WILDLIFE CONSERVATION CHARITY

Shepreth Wildlife Conservation Charity (SWCC) was established in March 2011 to help fundraise for conservation work both home and abroad. The organisation will be responsible for raising funds and educating visitors about endangered species and also play a major role in providing funds for the on-site SWCC Hedgehog Rehabilitation Hospital.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received backing from a grant maker

Financial issues to consider:

There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
