NORTH DEVON VOLUNTARY SERVICES LIMITED

North Devon Voluntary Services is the Council for Voluntary Service (CVS) and Volunteer Centre (VC) for North Devon. We are an infrastructure organisation providing services to support development and capacity building within voluntary and community groups and assist with the recruitment and placement of volunteers.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

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