WORCESTERSHIRE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION LIMITED 

Worcestershire Community Foundation is an independent, locally managed charitable trust which raises funds and distributes funding to local voluntary and community groups in the County of Worcestershire
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly male
  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
