ECOACTIVE

We undertake sessions in schools and workshops with local community groups. In the course of these, we impart information, offer a range of possible courses of action and show how individuals can have a positive impact on their local environment and community, and gain confidence through their understanding of sustainability issues and possible solutions.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • 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
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

  • Income was lower than spending in the latest year
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
