PRESTEIGNE AND NORTON COMMUNITY TRUST

The Trust's primary purpose is to preserve, restore and sustain amenities of historical, architectural, and cultural heritage for the benefit of the inhabitants in the communities of Presteigne and Norton, and to provide facilities to improve social welfare, recreation and other leisure time occupations. This includes the adaption of the former church of St Andrew in Norton as a community.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

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
