HUNSLET RUGBY FOUNDATION

The advancement of health by the promotion, for the public benefit, of community participation in healthy recreation by providing facilities for the playing of rugby league and other sports capable of improving health ("facilities" in this clause means land, buildings, equipment and organising sporting activities);
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been reasonable growth in spending 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 and there are significant future grants due to be received
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly male
  • 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
