EARTHWORKS ST. ALBANS

At Earthworks people of all abilities learn and work together. Local people but particulary those with learning difficulties and mental health issues work on our sustainably managed site learning horticulture and land-based skills. Contract groups go out into the community to design and maintain private gardens and do conservation work in schools, nature reserves and public land.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

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