SMARDEN SPORTS AND LEISURE ASSOCIATION

Umbrella organisation for sporting activities in the village of Smarden. Focus at present on fundraising to replace our obsolete sports pavilion with a modern building incorporating up-to-date and appropriate facilities. Focus also on extending youth sport, working alongside local school.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
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
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

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
Over half the Board have joined recently

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 recently but spending has been maintained

Established: 12 years
