ECOLOGICAL LAND TRUST

The Ecological Land Trust is an emergent charity, providing support, advice & information to ecological growers & farmers. Our primary beneficiaries are new entrants to ecological growing/farming and low-income and landless (ecological) agricultural workers.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from a grant maker
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years

Financial issues to consider:

Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
