WILD THINGS! ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION IN ACTION
Company number SC251691 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Wild Things! is a well-established Scottish charity with a 21-year operating history, demonstrating genuine growth in service delivery and a consistent (if modest) surplus. However, the limited by guarantee structure provides negligible capital backing, reserves sit below the board's own target, and the organisation faces a transition period following the conclusion of its flagship funded project. Any credit facility should be conditional on appropriate security or covenants, sized conservatively against unrestricted income, and structured to accommodate the seasonal and project-based nature of the charity's cash flows. The thin operating margin of 3.6% leaves limited headroom for debt service without demonstrated income growth.
