WIVELISCOMBE COMMUNITY CENTRE

Provision and maintenance of a village hall for the use of the inhabitants of Wiveliscombe and surrounding parishes.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy

Financial issues to consider:

Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
