COMMUNITY IMPACT BUCKS

Supporting the voluntary and community sector in Buckinghamshire and to act as the Rural Community Council for Buckinghamshire and Milton Keynes

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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:

Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

Unrestricted reserves appear to be dangerously low at the latest year end
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
