ALFORD MEMORIAL PARK 

The provision and maintenance of the Memorial Park in Alford as a place of recreation and relaxation for children of all ages.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received Government grants

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board composition appears to be rather 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
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
