THE REDDITCH ASSOCIATION FOR THE BLIND

Monies are raised from store collections, collecting tins, special events which are used to provide social occasions and other assistance to improve the wellbeing of our members

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received Government grants
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
There are 14 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12
The Board composition appears to be very static

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
