THE WALLINGFORD SPORTS TRUST

Through the management of Wallingford Sports Park, the CIO aims to support the provisionof a variety of facilities for sport and recreation to enable local people, from all backgrounds, and including young, old and disabled, to participate in and enjoy recreational and health benefits from sporting activities.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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:

Why are there 14 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12?

Financial issues to consider:

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