MANCHESTER ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION NETWORK

MEEN supports teachers, organisations & individuals working to promote Education for Sustainable Development. To achieve this we offer opportunities to share good practice & network, run training events & INSET, provide a directory & newsletter.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period, despite a decline more recently
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

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 has been volatile recently
