ROTARY SHOEBOX SCHEME 

Using its specially designed shoeboxes the charity provides an all year round service for people in Britain and Ireland wishing to make gifts to people in Eastern Europe. The people who receive the shoeboxes are chosen by the charity solely on humanitarian grounds.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly male

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
miles
