THE PEWSEY AND DISTRICT FEAST AND CARNIVAL 

Our aim is to promote the culture and heritage of our community whilst advancing any charitable purpose for the benefit of the community. We organise a series of community events in the second and third weeks of September each year around the Pewsey area targeted to provide something for all ages. Events include competitions, dances, races, talks and a Carnival first run in 1897.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent 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 age

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Income was lower than spending in the latest year
