THE WASTE AND RESOURCES ACTION PROGRAMME

WRAP's vision is a thriving world in which climate change is no longer a problem. WRAP's mission is to make the world a more sustainable place. We bring people together, we act on the facts and we drive change. Our core purpose is to help tackle climate change and protect our planet by changing the way things are produced, consumed and disposed of.
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 and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • Unrestricted reserves appear to be dangerously low at the latest year end
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
