SONGBIRD SURVIVAL 

The objective of the charity is to improve, protect & preserve the population of song & other small birds for the benefit of national biodiversity & the public. It aims to achieve this by commissioning & funding scientific research, supporting the conservation & restoration of habitats, by education of the public & advocacy where changes in the law may be deemed necessary to protect songbirds.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • 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:

  • This charity only provides its support via other charities

Financial issues to consider:

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