THE BLACKPOOL WYRE AND FYLDE COUNCIL FOR VOLUNTARY SERVICE 

To promote effective voluntary action within the three boroughs within which it works. This is done by providing a wide range of advice, information, support and training to local groups.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received income from Government contracts

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board composition appears to be rather static and has little diversity in terms of age

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
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
