BASILDON, BILLERICAY AND WICKFORD COUNCIL FOR VOLUNTARY SERVICE

Basildon, BIllericay and Wickford Council for Voluntary Service is an independent registered charity that exists to promote, develop, support and represent a thriving, effective, voluntary and community sector in the borough.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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 gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity only provides its support via other charities
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
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
