WIVENHOE SCOUT AND GUIDE ASSOCIATION 

Managing the Wivenhoe Scout & Guide Hall and supporting the Leaders of various Scout and Guide sections which belong to the Association
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
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

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
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
