LITTORAL/PROJECTS ENVIRONMENT

The trust work was set up to promote arts, social, cultural, community and environmental research; Littoral promotes conferences, exhibitions, projects, publications and research proposing creative solutions to real-life problems.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is completely female

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
