NORTON SPORTS CHARITY

Provision of sports facilities for community use including those for archery, athletics, bowls, cricket, football, hockey, rugby, squash and tennis consistent with the objectives of the Charity. The Charity also owns a Community Interest Company providing social facilities, acting as the umbrella body for non-sporting activities and also to generate revenues for the Charity.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from multiple prominent grant makers recently
There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is predominantly male
The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

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