STANSFIELD VILLAGE HALL AND PLAYING FIELD

The charity maintains the village hall and playing fields in Stansfield, Suffolk and runs events, classes, courses and activities for the benefit of the inhabitants of the village and immediate vicinity.
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

Financial issues to consider:

  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile recently
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
