BIODYNAMIC AGRICULTURAL ASSOCIATION

To research, educate and promote knowledge of the Biodynamic concepts and methods initiated by Dr Rudolf Steiner for the betterment of farming, forestry and gardening.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received Government grants and contracts
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
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

Established: 10 years
