WIDECOMBE-IN-THE-MOOR CHURCH HOUSE AND LANDS CHARITY 

the charity has four cottages that are rented out to local people. at the end of the year part of the money in the bank generated from the rents minus any expenditure is divided between Widecombe Church and Widecombe Educational Foundation
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • 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
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
