BREDHURST WOODLAND ACTION GROUP

Woodland management and conservation of Bredhurst Hurst, Kent

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from a grant maker
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

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
