Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received Government grants
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender

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

Perivale Wood is a Site of Metropolitan Importance and is Britain's second oldest nature reserve. The reserve comprises 27 acres of mostly ancient oak woodland, with 5 acres of neutral unimproved grassland and several ponds. The Selborne Society owns and manages Perivale Wood, one of Britain's oldest conservation organisations. This project will create new and improved habitats for harvest mice at Perivale Wood, into which harvest mice will be reintroduced. The project will also create wildlife corridors linking the existing population at Horsenden Hill to the habitats at Perivale Wood and railsides to the south. The project will support improvement of the harvest mice breeding facility at Horsenden Farm including provision of an ecology lab for wildlife surveying and community engagement.
