WALSHAM LE WILLOWS OPEN GARDENS TRUST

Predominantly organising an Open Gardens weekend on an annual basis in Walsham le Willows (Village) to provide funds for the charity's purposes which are to provide financial assistance in the Village together with some other small Viillage fundraising activities for similar purposes

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
