VISION 21 (GLOUCESTERSHIRE) LTD

Our mission is to make Gloucestershire's communities sustainable and more resilient. We are as much a social organisation as we are an environmental one and by helping people, groups and organisations to enhance their environs and life opportunities, we help everyone to move towards a Net Zero Carbon position.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
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 age

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is predominantly male
The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Latest accounts are overdue for filing
Income was significantly lower than spending in the latest year

Established: 23 years
