THE CANTERBURY SOCIETY

The Canterbury is a civic organisation we campaign to enhance the quality of the environment in our City. We aim to preserve and enhance Canterbury?s architecture and urban environment, its green spaces and its transport system, and to combat litter, graffiti and night-time disturbance. We provide a focus and a forum for those who love Canterbury, and give people a voice on issues which matter.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received Government grants
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:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
