Promote community participation by providing facilities and services for playing cricket in Bath and the surrounding area and to advance the education of children and young people.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received Government grants
  • This charity has a robust balance sheet
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age 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
  • One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £4,187,598 available, equivalent to 73 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
  • Fundraising costs are extremely high relative to funds raised
