KENT FIELD CLUB 

Aims are the study and recording of the flora and fauna of Kent, promotion of nature conservation, and provision of a means of communication between naturalists in the county. This is carried out through programmes of outdoor and indoor meetings; publication of documents; appointment of recorders to act as referees for particular taxa; and support for appropriate activities by outside bodies.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period, despite a decline more recently
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests 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
