LAPWORTH SCARECROW FESTIVAL

We hold a fundraising weekend every September around a scarecrow festival, raise sponsorship beforehand and during the weekend provide activities, stalls, a bbq and bar all in order to raise money to support the charity's objects

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from a grant maker and there are significant future grants due to be received

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There have been multiple defaults for filing returns
This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
There are only 2 trustees
The Board is completely female
The Board composition appears to be very static and has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Latest accounts are overdue for filing and returns have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years
