FROME MEN'S SHED

The Frome Shed offers a work space where people from Frome and the surrounding area work on practical projects with others. The space is equipped with tools & materials donated by the public or local businesses. The club is run by members who decide when they come & what they do. We undertake projects, acceptable to the group, which benefit individuals, other groups & the broader community.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years, despite a decline more recently
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

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