THE SHROPSHIRE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY 

The charity continues to fulfil the requirements of its primary objective, being the promotion of horticultural education. This has been achieved by organising the annual Shrewsbury Flower Show, organising lectures on horticultural events, supporting, through the Percy Thrower Bursary the Young Horticulturist of the Year competition and by making charitable donations.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has a robust balance sheet
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are 37 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12

Financial issues to consider:

  • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £6,825,008 available, equivalent to 68 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
  • Fundraising costs are extremely high relative to funds raised
