CALDMORE VILLAGE FESTIVAL LTD

Throughout the year the volunteers engage the community in a variety of community based projects e.g the Community house which when completed will be a base for community held events, the community garden which is open for all to use and develop. This culminates into a 3 day festival involving local music across all ages, genre and ethnicities, a variety of sporting events etc.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age 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
