BEDALE COMMUNITY LIBRARY

The charity delivers library and information services for the public benefit as well as additional activities such as the Summer Reading Challenge for children, Story Time sessions for pre-school children, Rhymetime sessions for the same age group, regular IT drop in sessions for all ages and a Home Library Information Service for the delivery of books to the elderly and housebound.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
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 well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

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 recently
