THE WILDLIFE GARDENING FORUM

We promote garden biodiversity and public education through public conferences, creation of publications and newsletters, work with the media, maintaining a website to provide access to evidence-based information and advice, coordinating and informing the work of the charities and other organisations within our contacts, and influencing decision makers through disseminating evidence.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity

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 and on several occasions in recent years less than spending

Established: 10 years
