SPIRIT OF PLYMOUTH (RADIO) LIMITED

The charity was engaged in setting up, running, promoting and fundraising for Cross Rhythms Plymouth, the new community radio station for the city. The content of the programming is contemporary Christian music with a mix of local news and community events information. Studio premises were secured and a radio studio was built and equipped.A transmitter was erected and approved by Ofcom.

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:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
There are only 2 trustees
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
