COUNTY OF STOCKPORT GUIDE ASSOCIATION 

GIRLGUIDING STOCKPORT IS PART OF A WORLDWIDE MOVEMENT, ENABLING GIRLS AND YOUNG WOMEN TO FULFIL THEIR POTENTIAL TO TAKE AN ACTIVE AND RESPONSIBLE ROLE IN SOCIETY THROUGH OUR DISTINCTIVE, STIMULATING AND ENJOYABLE PROGRAMMES OF ACTIVITIES DELIVERED BY OUR TRAINED VOLUNTEER LEADERS.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period, despite a decline more recently
  • 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
  • The Board is completely female

Financial issues to consider:

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