HURST FESTIVAL

Organisation of an annual festival in the villages of Hurstpierpoint and Sayers Common, West Sussex.

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 gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

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
