MATTERDALE COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION

The Matterdale Community Association (MCA) is a charity (No 1151528) which has been set up to promote social, recreational and educational activities for the benefit of the Matterdale community, and to provide educational activities and grants to young people. It hopes, in due course, to be able to establish a community centre, which will be the focus of community and educational activities

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
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of 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

Financial issues to consider:

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