THE VIVIAN MOON FOUNDATION 

PROVISION OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO OBTAIN PROFESSIONAL OR OTHER QUALIFICATIONS CONNECTED WITH LEARNING OR WORK SKILLS, FAVOURING THOSE WHO ARE LIKELY TO PRACTICE THEIR SKILLS IN THE NORTH DEVON AREA
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • 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
  • One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
