NURTURE THROUGH NATURE

We are Nurture through Nature, a Charitable Incorporated Organisation addressing food poverty by growing and donating vegetables to local food banks. We work with groups of volunteers on our Moulsecoomb allotments, they learn about growing fruit and vegetables while producing food for donation.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers and there are significant future grants due to be received

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Established: 7 years
