THE MAYOR OF WIGAN'S CHARITY APPEAL

The Mayor of Wigan's Charity Appeal raises funds or receives donations to support one or more organisations/charities during each Mayoral year. The chosen organisation/charity must benefit residents of the Wigan Borough in order to be considered for support by the Charity. Ideally the funding should be used for a capital project but we do not rule out revenue funding.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There have been no income shortfalls in recent years

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 composition appears to be very static

Financial issues to consider:

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