WORSLEY HALL (WIGAN) COMMUNITY RESOURCE CENTRE

Community venue accessible to all, without discrimination, for social, educational, advice, guidance and advocacy. Regularly used by educational providers, parents and children, young people, senior citizens, statutory and voluntary organisations/groups for formal and informal purposes.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

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

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 has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending

Established: 19 years
