WESTLEY VALE MILLENNIUM GREEN TRUST 

The Westley Vale Millennium Green is a 5.5 acre public open space where the local community can relax and enjoy the natural environment. The open 'Green' provides an area for play and the pathways are wheelchair/pushchair friendly. Fund raising events and public clean-up days are held throughout the year to cover the cost of maintaining the site.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently and there are significant future grants due to be received
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board is completely female
  • 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
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
