We are a local community association, engaging the public with farming, the outdoors and volunteering, for environmental and wellbeing purpose. We work to advance education in agriculture, horticulture, arts and crafts, conservation and related subjects.We specialise in UK native and rare breed livestock

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board composition appears to be rather static and 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
Latest accounts are overdue for filing
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending

Established: 12 years
