BETTER BRAYBROOKE (ENVIRONMENTAL WATCH)

To improve The Braybrooke Ward by association with local authorities, voluntary organisations and residents by campaigning on issues affecting the quality of life and encouraging environmental improvements.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • Why is there only 1 trustee?
  • Returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

  • Income has been volatile recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
