PATHMAKERS (CIO)

Pathmakers was set up by the Norfolk Local Access Forum to make improvements to countryside access in Norfolk. Pathmakers will develop the access network, particularly for those not currently using it, seeking funding to make improvements on the ground and benefiting communities and the environment.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received backing from a grant maker and there are significant future grants due to be received
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

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 and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
