3 Acorns Charity Eco-Audits


3 Acorns Eco-Audits have wide experience of eco-audits in the charity sector. 

It was commissioned in 2005 to carry out an eco-audit of 12 charities in the non-environmental sector in London, including the sector's three major umbrella bodies ACEVO, ACF and NCVO. The project funded by the City Bridge Trust won a gold Green Apple Award in November 2007 at the awards ceremony at the House of Commons. 

Our audits have ranged from sheltered housing units to community transport charities to a book-service for the blind. Donnachadh worked for 7 years in the sector for The Lord’s Taverners children’s charity and was a charity trustee for 12 years.  He understands the special issues that face the charitable sector and believes passionately that a well run charity also means an environmentally responsible charity.  3 Acorns Eco-audits help charities to do this.
