ST MARTIN'S CENTRE PROJECT

St Martins Centre is run by volunteers, operating facilities for the benefit of the community of St Martins. These facilities include free computer access, rooms to rent for parties, classes, changing rooms and a base for the Youth Club.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
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

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 has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
