MYRTLE PARK FRIENDS

We hold action days every two weeks on a Sunday morning, run by the trustees and open to members of the public to volunteer to help. This involves gardening, maintenance and litter picking. We open the Park Hub to visitors every Sunday afternoon to look at the displays and information about the park and to make use of the nature activities and resources.
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:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

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