FOUR OAKS METHODIST CHURCH PLAYVENTURE

Playgroup for children from 0years to school age. There are toys of various descriptions and parents stay with children. There is a time for quiet at the end of the session when we sing songs. During the year we have a Teddy Bears Picnic, a visit to a farm and have a Christmas Party and Nativity.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
There are only 2 trustees
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
Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
