PROTECTING AND ENHANCING GREEN SPACES ACROSS LANCASTER FOR THE BENEFIT OF WILDLIFE, LANDSCAPE AND THE COMMUNITY.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very 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 well diversified in terms of gender

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
Income was lower than spending in the latest year

Established: 28 years
