BIDDENDEN VILLAGE HALLS AND SPORTS COMMITTEE

The Charity administers and maintains two Village Halls and is the landlord for Biddenden Squash Club, Biddenden Tennis Club, Biddenden Juniours Football Club and Biddenden Bowls Club

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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 and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are 18 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12

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
