FRIENDS OF HARTSFIELD SCHOOL ASSOCIATION

Organising and running fund raising activities; including a christmas fair, wrap a present, quiz night, camp out night, fun trail and hot dog and ice cream Fridays.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
The Board is completely female
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
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
