WOOLSERY & DISTRICT AGRICULTURAL SHOW 

The main activity is to organise an agricultural Show every year, on the last Monday of July. The show works hard to retain it's agricultural roots, and attract local support, as well as educate and inform those with less countryside knowledge.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received Government grants

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • 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
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
