BURMANTOFTS COMMUNITY PROJECTS 

Provision of an independent free advice serviceProvision of services to the elderly
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • 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 age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity is not recognised by HMRC for Gift Aid according to its latest published return
  • One or more trustees receive benefits from the charity

Financial issues to consider:

  • Unrestricted reserves appear to be dangerously low at the latest year end
