RURAL COMMUNITY ACTION NOTTINGHAMSHIRE

RCAN works to create strong and inclusive rural communities in which social disadvantage is addressed to create an equitable, sustainable, open and prosperous society.We do this by working with local community groups, encouraging enterprise, promoting equality of opportunity for all, speaking out on rural issues.

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 age

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is completely male
The Board composition appears to be rather static

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
