CAMPAIGN TO PROTECT RURAL ENGLAND, LONDON 

CPRE London exists to advocate and influence the sustainable use and stewardship of land and other natural resources in order to protect and enhance the environment and quality of life in London - and the wider English countryside - for the benefit of all.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender 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
  • Income was lower than spending in the latest year
