Our charity runs a club for adults over 16 years with additional needs. We meet on the secoond Monday of the month in a church hall in Cowbridge, Vale of Glamorgan. We are a social club and our activities include arts and crafts, singing, keep-fit, visits to local places of interest, an annual dinner and an annual day trip
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent 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
  • The Board is completely female

Financial issues to consider:

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