    SUSTAINABLE DORSET 

    Encouraging climate friendly and sustainable communities in Dorset.
    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

    • The charity has received backing from a grant maker

    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
    Established: 20 years
