THE HERTFORDSHIRE BEEKEEPERS ASSOCIATION [CIO]

We support beekeeping in Hertfordshire both by assisting the local beekeeping groups across the county and by providing education to the public.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
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 completely male

Financial issues to consider:

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