BARNSTAPLE FAIR CARNIVAL CHARITABLE TRUST 

Raising funds in order to stage a day-long event culminating in a Carnival Parade and fireworks display which offers local charities the opportunity to collect money for their respective charities.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity only provides its support via other charities
  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board is predominantly male
  • The Board composition appears to be very 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
  • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
