FOREST RECYCLING PROJECT LIMITED

FRP's main areas of work are collecting and re-distributing waste paint, recycling office paper, organising waste exchange events, supporting communities to develop waste minimisation initiatives, and a volunteer programme enabling marginalised people to gain valuable skills and work experience through volunteering, reduce social isolation, and take positive action for their community.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
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 age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
