The provision and maintenance of two village halls for the use of the inhabitants of the Parish of Broomhaugh and Riding Mill and visitors to the village (without distinction of political, religious or other opinions) for meetings, lectures and classes and for other forms of recreation and leisure-time occupation, with the object of improving their quality of life.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • 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:

  • 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
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
