THE ROYAL SCOTTISH COUNTRY DANCE SOCIETY CARLISLE & BORDER BRANCH 

ARRANGE DANCING CLASSES WEEKLY IN WINTER MONTHS AND ALSO ARRANGES WORKSHOPS AND DANCES THROUGHOUT THE YEAR
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period, despite a decline more recently
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board is predominantly female
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

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
