CHILLINGHAM WILD CATTLE ASSOCIATION LTD

The principle activity of the charitable company is to maintain, preserve and improve the herd of white cattle (commonly known as the 'Chillingham Wild Cattle') in their natural surroundings in Chillingham Park, Northumberland, and to keep and maintain the same in their indigenous conditions, and in particular maintain their purity of breeding free from any admixture of extraneous blood.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • 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
