KING EDWARD VII INSTITUTE

The charity provides the Groombridge Village Hall to meet the needs of the local community and especially all who hire the hall, participate in activities taking place, and attend events there. We aim to provide for an increased and wider range of activities for all ages, with a view to combating social exclusion and without distinction of political, religious or other opinion.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
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
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
