SPUD 

In modern life there is an emerging awareness of our inter-connection - with each other, with the places we inhabit, with the wider environment. The organisation aims to give people experiences that develop awareness of such inter-connections.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • 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 dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:
