LLANELLI RAILWAY GOODS SHED TRUST

The charity operates in the Llanelli area. Currently the charity is reviewing options for the delivery of the project to restore the Llanelli Railway Goods Shed and bring back into use for the benefit of the community.

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
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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
The Board composition appears to be rather static and has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

Income has been volatile recently and was substantially in excess of spending in the latest year
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
