VOLUNTARY ACTION - NORTH EAST LINCOLNSHIRE

Promotes, encourages and supports individuals, groups and organisations within the voluntary and community sector, to enable them to meet the needs and aspirations of communities within North East Lincolnshire.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • Income has been volatile recently
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
