WILTSHIRE SCRAPSTORE AND RESOURCE CENTRE

We are a Wiltshire based charity whose main aim is to promote learning through creativity by making various low cost resources available to the community. These resources include a scrapstore, craft shop, training and outreach service. Scrap is donated by businesses and is anything that would normally go into landfill but is safe and clean for children and young people to use.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from multiple prominent grant makers recently
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is predominantly female
The Board composition appears to be rather 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
