TIDWORTH AND LUDGERSHALL MEN'S SHED

The Tidworth and Ludgershall Mens Shed is a group providing support and companionship for a range of people in the area of Tidworth and Ludgershall. We provide the opportunity to learn new skills in our own workshop and often practice those skills helping others in the community.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

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 male

Financial issues to consider:

On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
