THE WHITLINGHAM CHARITABLE TRUST 

Manage and conserve Whitlingham Country Park for the recreation and enjoyment of members of the public who wish to enjoy it's amenities for quiet and peaceful pursuits in a rural environment.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly male
  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
