MANOR FIELDS ASSOCIATION 

Manor Fields Association seeks to maintain and enhance the environment of the fields for public use, and to promote bio-diversity. To this end we leave managed long grass areas, sow wildflower seeds and plant new trees. We aim to promote the fields for informal sporting activities, dog walking, and general recreation for all. We hold occasional events such as fun dog shows.
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
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • 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
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
