SEAFORTH HALL

TO HAVE AVAILABLE A HALL AND FACILITIES FOR THE LOCAL COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES WHICH INCLUDES DANCE TEACHING, EXERCISE CLASSES, THEATRICAL PRODUCTIONS, MONTHLY CHURCH SERVICE, RESIDENTS MEETINGS, EDUCATIONAL CLASSES.
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 dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
