WOODFORD VALLEY LINK SCHEME 

Provision of services calculated to reduce the need, hardship or distress of poor, sick, elderly or disabled persons in the Parishes of Durnford, Wilsford-cum-Lake and Woodford
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • 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
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
