THE HOLME CULTRAM SEA DYKE CHARITY

To benefit the inhabitants of the Ancient Parish of Holme Cultram as the Trustees think fit. The organisations vary but include, village halls, churches, schools and Residential Care Homes.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • There are 14 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12
  • The Board is predominantly 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
  • Accounts have been filed late on 4 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • Income was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
