GREENSEAS TRUST

To educate, promote and implement on an individual, regional and global level, environmental programmes to eliminate plastics and marine debris entering the seas and coastal areas. We want to change the "I can't be bothered," attitude by tackling the problem at source. Our goal is to ensure marine life and fish stocks are sustainable for future generations.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
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 and there are significant future grants due to be received

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

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