WIDECOMBE HISTORY GROUP 

We hold regular monthly meetings throughout the year, with a guest speaker and also arrange outings for members. We have a series of local history projects on the go at any one time, currently these include: North Hall and Digitising and Cataloguing the History Group and Parish Archive.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
