QUAKER VOLUNTARY ACTION

Our mission is to provide and promote take-up of practical opportunities to put Quaker faith into action and to develop new approaches for doing this. Voluntary work projects are provided for members of the Quaker community and others including short working retreats in Britain and overseas. Information and advice is provided to assist volunteering in Quaker and other projects worldwide.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and 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 has little diversity in terms of age
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
Income was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
