BLENNERHASSET SOCIAL AND EDUCATIONAL CENTRE

To provide a social and educational facility for the benefit of the villages of Blennerhasset and Baggrow in West Cumbria and neighbouring communities.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

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
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

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