BURGESS HILL SHED

BH-Shed will provide a safe, relaxing and stimulating environment where people can socialise, make new friends and enjoy the pursuit of worthwhile activity. It will provide benefits to those needing companionship, suffering loneliness, needing access to tools and equipment, and interested in working alongside like-minded people.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be 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
The Board is predominantly male
Returns have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
