BRANSGORE CHURCHES COFFEE HOUSE 

We run a coffee shop that is a focal point for this rural community. For some Elderly people it is a second home, but all ages make use of our facilities. We have toys available for the very young. Village clubs and organisations use our facilites to advertise what they do. The shop is also used as a collection point for our charitable giving.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • 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:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board is predominantly female
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

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