FELLING VOLUNTEER LIBRARY

We facilitate library services by providing a hub of activities for the public in general, mainly focusing on the immediate surrounding of The Felling. These include weekly Rhyme Time for preschoolers, computers with internet access help in looking for employment, applying for Universal Credit etc. Everything we do is centred on improving the local area.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Latest accounts are overdue for filing
Income has been volatile recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
