MALDON AND DISTRICT COMMUNITY VOLUNTARY SERVICE

M&DCVS aims to promote any charitable purposes for the benefit of the community in the district of Maldon. We support over 200 voluntary and community groups, offering services such as funding advice, training support and advice on legal and constitutional issues. As a Volunteer Centre, we also support anyone interested in volunteering and help them to identify volunteering opportunities.

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

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data

Established: 23 years
