THE NEW HUTTON INSTITUTE

We hold community dances, quizes, games evenings, flower festivals, church activities, money raising for different charities. We also hire out the hall to local groups including the Primary school in the adjoining village, exercise classes, a bowling group, and to groups needing a smaller room for meetings.
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 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
  • Why is the Board completely male?

Financial issues to consider:

  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
