THE ETON FIVES ASSOCIATION LIMITED

1. To promote community participation in the sport of Eton Fives and such other amateur sports as the Trustees shall determine by providing or assisting in the provision of facilities for the playing of Eton Fives and2. to advance physical education of young persons by assisting in the facilities for the playing and learning of Eton Fives in schools and universities
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
  • Why are there 13 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12?

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
