ALNWICK AND DISTRICT ROUND TABLE CHARITY FUND

GENERAL FUNDRAISING EVENTS IN THE ALNWICK AREA INCLUDING THE ALNWICK BEER FESTIVAL AND AN ANNUAL FIREWORKS DISPLAY.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received Government grants

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 2 trustees
  • The Board is completely male
  • The Board composition appears to be very 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
  • Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
