ROYAL SCOTTISH COUNTRY DANCE SOCIETY LEICESTER BRANCH 

The charity exists to educate the public in Scottish Country Dancing, by teaching dancing, holding dances and publishing books, records and other training materials, and by promoting dancing as part of our cultural heritage, as well as a healthy and enjoyable activity. Some dances are held for the general public, which raise funds for the charitable purposes of the Branch.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board is predominantly female

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
