THE SAND HOUSE CHARITY

The Sand House Charity carries out educational activities in the fields of heritage, culture and the arts, which are linked to the former Victorian Sand House of Doncaster. Examples include illustrated talks, guided walks, exhibitions, school visits, sand sculpture training and displays, a theatre play and pop-up sand art sessions.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
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

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period but has stabilised more recently
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
