FEDERATION OF OLD CORNWALL SOCIETIES

Aims to "gather up the fragments that remain", i.e. to record the remnants of Cornwall's past culture and heritage, preserve them where appropriate, revive and continue customs and traditions, educate regarding them via talks, publications, etc.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
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 and dynamic in terms of composition

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
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
