DORKING RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB LIMITED

The Charity's objects are to promote community participation in healthy recreation by the provision of facilities and an inclusive environment for all ages and genders for the playing of rugby union football and also to promote any purpose that is charitable according to the laws of England and Wales

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
More than half of total income was derived from trading and fees in the latest year
There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
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:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
Why is the Board completely male?
Returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £1,821,080 available, equivalent to 36 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
The latest accounts were qualified
Fundraising costs are extremely high relative to funds raised
