WALK THE LOOP 

We run a range of activities to engage young children and their parent-carers with nature in the form of walks, trails, scavenger hunts and related arts and crafts activities in the Greater London area. This has been during the week, on weekends, at half-term and over the summer holidays so as to be inclusive, reaching out to people in the local community and beyond who may have limited resources
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government and there are significant future grants due to be received

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

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