EARTH SCIENCE TEACHERS ASSOCIATION 

The aim of the Earth Science Teachers Association (ESTA) is to support the teaching of earth sciences whether as a single subject such as Geology, or as part of science, geography or other courses. ESTA helps teachers at all levels. It publishes a magazine (teaching earth sciences), runs an annual course and conference and develops web-based earth science teaching resources.
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 have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
