THE OAKHAM CANAL GREEN CORRIDOR PROJECT

The key purpose is to create a footpath alongside the route of the old Oakham Canal from a housing estate on the edge of Oakham extending, initially, about 2km into the countryside. We will be working with landowners to improve the quality of footpaths and signage. We aim to preserve the environment around the Oakham Canal in order to share the economic, environmental and leisure opportunities.
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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

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