Report of the Trustees for the year 2008
This report on the activities of Green Aid is for the year from 1 September 2007 to 31 August 2008.
This year the charity was able to distribute all of the funds received during the year. It also utilised a small proportion of the Reserves built up in the previous two years. The Trustees believe there should still be sufficient reserve to enable the Charity to fulfil its objectives in the coming years.
