OAKWOOD TRADERS AND RESIDENTS ASSOCIATION

The charity operates in Leeds - mainly in the Oakwood area. Its original objective was to save the Oakwood clock which was in very poor condition. It succeeded in this objective in 2015. It will continue to ensure that the clock is maintained in a good state of repair and aims to facilitate further improvements to the surrounding area for the public benefit.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 2 trustees
  • The Board composition appears to be very 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
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period but has stabilised more recently
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
