DOLPHINS RECREATION CENTRE 

Running the Hall and Recreation Ground
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker recently
  • 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
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

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
