TRANSITION TOWN WEYMOUTH AND PORTLAND

Transition Towns Weymouth and Portland is linked to the broader national Transition Towns network. Our aim is to both instigate and support positive action toward a more sustainable Weymouth and Portland through projects, working groups and community engagement. Growing and learning are key themes and we have held a wide range of events and a very successful Climate Change conference.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
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:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

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