THE FRIENDS OF POCKLINGTON ARTS CENTRE 

To advance, improve and maintain the education of the public in the arts, particularly the arts of drama, music, dance and film and to support the provision of improved facilities at Pocklington Arts Centre by fund raising, volunteering and enabling public to make use of the centre (particularly young people).
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 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
  • 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
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
