VOLUNTARY SUPPORT NORTH SURREY

VSNS is the Council for Voluntary Service with integrated volunteer centres in the Boroughs of Runnymede, Spelthorne and Surrey Heath that provides support and services to all charity and community groups in our area of benefit across all 3 boroughs, established as a charity in 1996 and incorporated in February 2011.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government and there are significant future grants due to be received
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data

Established: 13 years
