RARE BREEDS SURVIVAL TRUST

RBST works to conserve the UKÔÇÖs rare native breeds of farm animals and acts as a last resort against the extinction of a native breed from disease, inbreeding or changes in fashion. RBSTÔÇÖs mission is to promote pedigree rare breeds; support and encourage responsible breeding programmes; maintain a gene bank of rare bloodlines; and carry out technical breed research.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received Government grants
This charity has a robust balance sheet
This charity has received considerable income from legacies in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £3,204,620 available, equivalent to 58 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
Fundraising costs are extremely high relative to funds raised
