BUILTH WELLS COMMUNITY SUPPORT

We provide services to residents of our local community using our team of volunteers, Community Transport, Lunch Club, Shopping and prescription delivery, information and support. Working with other organisations and service providers.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
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
Why is the Board completely male?
The Board has little diversity in terms of age
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
