BRISTOL FOLK HOUSE

The constitutional objective of the charity remains consistent with its original purpose. It is to improve the conditions of life of the inhabitants of Bristol by the provision and maintenance of a centre for adult education, recreation and other leisure time occupations.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
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
