CULTIVATE LONDON LTD

Cultivate London provides youth training in a practical horticulture setting; we run a social enterprise, whereby all income generated by horticultural activities and landscaping services is directed back towards running the enterprise. This then allows us to continue to provide work and training for the young people with whom we work.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

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

Established: 12 years
