ROLVENDEN CAT RESCUE 

A small independent charity whose focus of activities is to rescue abandoned, stray and unwanted cats within the surrounding area of Kent and East Sussex. We ensure that the cats in our care are kept in comfort and good health until they are suitably rehomed. We neuter all cats and advise and inform the public with regard to the benefits of neutering.
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

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
  • There are only 3 trustees
  • The Board composition appears to be very static

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 and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
miles
