CLIPSHAM YEW TREE AVENUE TRUST

The Clipsham Yew Tree Avenue Trust (CYTAT) is established to maintain, care for and preserve the historic Yew Tree Avenue in the Parish of Clipsham in Rutland. We are raising funds to enable the Trust to professionally clip the 137 topiaried yew trees once a year, normally in September. In addition we select contractors to maintain the Avenue and the surrounding grassland including the hedges.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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

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 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
Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
