THE RIDGEWOOD VILLAGE HALL COMMITTEE 

Ridgewood Village Hall hosts a diverse range of community groups serving Ridgewood and the surrounding area, run by a committee of volunteers/trustees who run the day to day operations of the hall but also provide community fundraising events throughout the year.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

  • This Charity has changed registration and some of the financial and donation history pertains to the previous entity
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Income has been volatile recently but spending has been maintained
