WESTON ADVENTURE PLAYGROUND ASSOCIATION

To supply safe stimulating play experiences for children aged 5 - 14 years old.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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:

There are only 2 trustees
The Board composition appears to be very 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
Latest accounts are overdue for filing and returns have been filed late on 4 occasions over the last 5 years
Income was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
