WEST MALVERN VILLAGE HALL TRUST 

THIS CHARITY MANAGES A VILLAGE HALL ON A LEASEHOLD BASIS. THE HALL PROVIDES ACCOMMODATION/RESOURCES FOR LOCAL VOLUNTARY GROUPS AND LOCAL CLUBS AND SOCIETIES. IT ALSO HOUSES THE LOCAL ARCHIVE, OWNED BY THE PARISH COUNCIL OF WEST MALVERN. COMMITTEE MEMBERS ORGANISE FUNDRAISING EVENTS TO SUPPORT THE MAINTENANCE OF THE HALL.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • 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:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
  • Income has been volatile recently but spending has been maintained
