THE WORGAN TRUST 

The Trust holds land for protection and preservation. It provides facilities for primary and infant school children mostly from the Birmingham Eduation Authority and a wider area to visit a working farm with a range of livestock. It gives opportunities for outdoor activities for groups of young people using a building in the Wyre Forest.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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

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
