AROUND AGAIN

Our Charity is set up to relieve need, hardship or distress by the provision of essential items to those in need. Including support for volunteering, education, training and health & wellbeing, as appropriate. Focussing on residents within North Solihull and neighbouring areas.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
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

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
The Board is predominantly female
The Board composition appears to be rather 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

Established: 11 years
