SHIREHAMPTON COMMUNITY ACTION FORUM

SCAF provides activities to support young people, operates a Community Safety Forum, and monitors local planning applications and disseminates information on these. Through Shire Greens it works to improve local geen spaces in Shirehampton.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period, despite a decline more recently
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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Income was lower than spending in the latest year

Established: 21 years
