NEWBY AND SCALBY LIBRARY AND INFORMATION CENTRE

Our charity was formed to run our local library and information centre. We are a community library and in addition to lending books, audio books and DVDs, we also provided computer and internet access. Our library is used as a venue for educational purposes by the LEA, and running courses and activities for all ages. We are self- funding.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is completely female

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
