SWINTON PLAYGROUP 

RUNS A PRE-SCHOOL PLAYGROUP FOR TEN 3 HOUR SESSIONS A WEEK, OVER FIVE DAYS, IN A COMMUNITY BUILDING IN A SMALL VILLAGE IN RURAL NORTH YORKSHIRE
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 gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • One or more trustees receive benefits from the charity
  • The Board composition appears to be rather 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
  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
