EDEN - ROSE COPPICE TRUST

Our aim is the acquisition, management and protection of woodland and other natural sites to provide a free retreat for people living with critical illness. The Charity encourages and supports volunteers living with mental health difficulties with or without carers, to improve their condition. This is achieved through social involvement, education, skill acquisition and immersion in nature.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly female

Financial issues to consider:

  • Income has been volatile recently but spending has been maintained
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
