WARK TOWN HALL

The main public spaces of the building have been refurbished to enable Wark to have a focal point for the community. Lettings of the available rooms range from sessions for a Toddler Group, through local interest groups, fitness classes to Indoor Bowls and many and varied social functions, applications sometimes exceeding capacity.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
There are 16 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
Income has been volatile recently
