SHEPRETH WILDLIFE CONSERVATION CHARITY

Shepreth Wildlife Conservation Charity (SWCC) was established in March 2011 to help fundraise for conservation work both home and abroad. The organisation will be responsible for raising funds and educating visitors about endangered species and also play a major role in providing funds for the on-site SWCC Hedgehog Rehabilitation Hospital.

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
Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
