FRIENDS SOUTHERN SUMMER EVENTS 

FSSE organises two week-long annual residential Quaker events in August: Junior Gathering (formerly Summer School, ages 11-14) and Senior Conference (15-18). These events advocate the Quaker testimonies of peace, simplicity, equality and truth. They are significant in the lives of those who attend, building confidence, knowledge and supportive friendships which can last a lifetime.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • 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
  • Income has been volatile recently
