ARLINGTON GARDEN ASSOCIATION 

Set up to lead volunteer gardening sessions in Arlington Garden. We bring volunteers together monthly to undertake maintenance and improvements in the garden to enable the garden to be used by local residents and visitors. We arrange fundraising activities to enable purchase of tools for gardening and provide other amenity items.
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

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
