THE PARSON WOODFORDE SOCIETY 

General information about the Society can be found on the website www.parsonwoodforde.org.uk. Each year we publish four journals and newsletters. We have the long-term objective of transcribing the Diary of James Woodforde in a series of volumes which are published and also made available to various libraries and statutory depositories. We make an annual gift to the Church at Weston Longville.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period but has stabilised more recently
  • Income has been volatile recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
