NEW MILLS AND DISTRICT VOLUNTEER CENTRE

The volunteer centre aims to help people in need, through the direct actions of local volunteers, by providing accessible transport, support groups, a befriending service and information provision. We seek to identify gaps in community care which can appropriately be met by volunteer activity. We also assist and promote other community based health and welfare groups in their activities.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
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 and there are significant future grants due to be received
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

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