WOTTON COMMUNITY SPORTS FOUNDATION

The charity has a lease on 38 acres of land on the outskirts of Wotton-under-Edge. Detailed planning permission has been granted for the development of a multi-sport/recreational complex on the site. The trustees are seeking funds to meet the projected costs of the proposed development.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
The Board is predominantly male

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 recently but spending has been maintained
