GLENFIELD U3A 

The organisation is focused on self-help, where members pool their skills and knowledge, for the benefit of others. Members are encouraged to remain active by partaking in many activities such as sports, physical exercise, crafts: indeed, any activity which might be of mutual interest.Socialising plays a part through monthly meetings, where the diverse interest groups can congregate together.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period, despite a decline more recently
  • 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:

  • 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
  • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
Established: 8 years
