THE GUIDE ASSOCIATION-LANCASHIRE EAST 

Girlguiding Lancashire East promotes the aim of Girlguiding, which is to enable girls and young women to develop emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually so they can make a positive contribution to their community and wider world.
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 recently
  • 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:

  • 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
