BETTER PLANET EDUCATION

Better Planet Education is a charity that aims to create a better future by inspiring young people to look after our world. We provide free environmental information and education services to schools and young people. These include our website, free online presentations, free-to-download lesson plans, home learning packs and Better Planet Schools, our online education programme for schools.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • 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
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

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