WOODLAND WAYS BUSHCRAFT FOUNDATION 

Activities began with helping to secure land for a remote Maasai community in Kenya in order to build a school. This led to further projects including the build of the school and ongoing funding of education there. The growing relationship with the communities in Kenya has led to a number of projects being identified with which the charity helps, such as the school feeding and water programme.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board composition appears to be rather static and has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
