STOBSWOOD MINERS' WELFARE RECREATION CENTRE

SPORT AND RECREATION FOR THE PARISH OF ULGHAM AND THE NEIGHBOURHOOD THEREOF
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • Why is the Board completely male?

Financial issues to consider:

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