COMMUNITY VOLUNTARY ACTION LEDBURY & DISTRICT

The Charity aims to promote any charitable purpose for the benefit of the community in the local government district of Ledbury and surrounding parishes; in particular to build the capacity of voluntary sector organisations and provide them with services that allow them to pursue or contribute to any charitable purpose.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

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
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
