RAYLEIGH ROCHFORD AND DISTRICT ASSOCIATION FOR VOLUNTARY SERVICE 

We are an umbrella organisation representing the interests of all voluntary and charitable groups in the area. We are the link between the voluntary and statutory sectors and monitor, support and advise on all aspects of community care.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • 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:

  • The Board is predominantly male
  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing
