NORFOLK ORNITHOLOGISTS ASSOCIATION

The objects of the Association are to advance the study of ornithology by acting as the parent body to the Holme Bird Observatory and to help engage as far as possible the full time service of a warden for the observatory.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

Income has been volatile recently but spending has been maintained
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
