SIR EVERARD DUNCOMBE FOR PARISH HALL

The charity manages Great Brickhill Parish Hall facilities for the use and benefit of both individual and groups of residents from Great Brickhill and the surrounding area. The Hall is used by a Pre-School Group on a daily basis and by an outreach Post Office once a week. It is used also for a wide variety of sports and social activities on a regular weekly basis.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • 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
