How does WDCS spend its money? Does a lot go on administration?
Like most organisations, we can only operate if we spend a percentage of our income on essential running costs. WDCS is accountable both to those who people who support the organisation and to those who it seeks to benefit by its efforts. This ensures that costs are maintained at a reasonable level. For more information on how WDCS spends the money it receives, read our Annual Review.
