SUSTAINABLE SOILS ALLIANCE NON-PROFIT COMMUNITY INTEREST COMPANY NO. 10802764

The SSA is a not-for-profit company limited by guarantee. We decided not to set up a charity because that would limit some activities such as campaigning on government policies. With a not-for-profit company the directors don’t benefit from profits and money raised is spent on company aims.
