FRIENDS OF ST ANN'S WELL GARDENS, HOVE 

We raise money for improvements to St Ann's Well Gardens, Hove, an historic public park with significant wildlife interest. We have provided public information/interpretation boards and written information about features of the Gardens..; We provide volunteers to work on projects in the Gardens and we put on community festivals and wildlife events for the benefit of the local community.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years

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

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Accounts have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
