HREOD BURNA URBAN FOREST

We have planted 1500 tree whips and intend to plant another 8000 and clear paths in the area of Hreod Burna Urban Forest. We lease our land from Central Swindon North Parish Council. We planted approx 2,000 trees 2019/2020, and are now concentrating on planting a Miyawaki Forest this autumn/winter.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very 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:

Latest return is overdue

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Latest accounts are overdue for filing and returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
