LITTLE OUSE HEADWATERS PROJECT

The LOHP is a voluntary, community project dedicated to the restoration of the important wildlife and landscape of the fens and heaths of the upper Little Ouse Valley. Although biodiversity conservation is at the heart of our work, we aim to achieve this in a way that both engages and benefits the local community.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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

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 has been volatile recently but spending has been maintained

Established: 21 years
