EDLINGHAM COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION 

We aim to preserve and improve a small 11thC church within the village of Edlingham. The church also supports the local rural community and is the only focal point within the village. We organise events to improve community co-hesion which take place within the church which is lacking basic facilities.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very 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 is predominantly female
  • The Board composition appears to be rather 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
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile recently
