BLACK MOUNTAINS COLLEGE PROJECT

A further and higher education college devoted to providing education for the planet, preparing students for the disruptions of a changing climate

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government and there are significant future grants due to be received
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
