THE SAYERS CROFT ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATIONAL TRUST

We provide opportunities for mainly young people to enjoy, learn about, understand and care for the natural environment. We do this by organising activity and study programmes for local schools, out of school visits, youth clubs, local families and special needs groups.

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 several prominent grant makers recently
Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Income was lower than spending in the latest year
