POYNTON U3A 

The U3A is a self-help, self-managed charitable organisation for those no longer in full-time work. It provides opportunities for members to share experiences in a range of Interest Groups to pursue skills, knowledge and activities. We hold monthly meetings with speakers, and have over 30 interest groups including bird watching, walking, family history, bridge, reading, geology, languages etc
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests 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
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
