WARMINSTER LIONS CLUB (CIO)

Assisted by family and friends, and others who give their time voluntarily, Club members raise funds through our second-hand bookshop in Warminster, driving our Christmas Santa workshop around town and local villages, and other events such as supporting local fetes in schools and villages. At fetes we organise stalls such as a lions soft toy tombola, toad-in-the-hole game, and a pot-a-ball game.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

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