KOKO FOUNDATION

Our main activities in furtherance of the Charity objects and for the public benefit have been environmental initiatives. The Charity has donated fruit trees to over twenty five primary schools, given away over five hundred whip trees through community events, and most notably partnered with Camden Council to plant trees in council estates.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
Why are there only 3 trustees?
The Board 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
