ASSOCIATION OF SHOW AND AGRICULTURAL ORGANISATIONS

The charitable objective and principal activity of the Association is to foster co-operation and discussion in the pursuit of matters of common interest among Show and Agricultural Organisations for the betterment of Agriculture, its kindred industries and services.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received Government grants
Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management 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
