FENSTANTON VILLAGE HALL TRUST 

Currently the Trustees organise fundraising events and activities for the enjoyment and recreation of the residents of Fenstanton (population 3,000 and growing) in order to raise money to pay for the building of a new village hall and thereafter for its maintenance and operation.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received Government grants
  • 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

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
