Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There have been no income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender
  • This charity is based in an area of high deprivation

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • There are 23 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Established: 17 years
