GREEN BUSINESS NETWORK

The objects of the charity are to preserve and protect the environment, in particular by providing courses, lectures and seminars, and other additional materials on environmental issues and how these issues can be addressed within the context of business activities; and to educate the public about the environment and environmental issues, in particular within the context of business issues.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
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
The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
