MEMORIAL HALL 

Local village hall that provides amenities and activities that are available to local residents. The hall is available to hire for various village events - choir, keep fit, exhibitions, childrens' groups etc. We also run monthly coffee mornings and soup lunches that are well attended by the older village residents. The hall is also used by the local parish council and the church council.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been 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
  • 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
  • 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
