SWALLOWS OF HELSTON GYMNASTICS CLUB

Operation of a Gymnastics Club
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why are there only 3 trustees?
  • Why is the Board completely female?
  • Over half the Board have joined recently
  • Returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
