THE FRIENDS OF THE SCRUBS

The conservation and improvement of the Scrubs and the protection of its use by walkers, dog walkers, pony riders, botanists, bird and butterfly watchers and other members of the public in an environment that is more wild than tamed; the protection of its use by kite and model aircraft flyers, games players and children in designated areas; the education of the public about the Scrubs.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
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
Income has been volatile recently
