WAKEFIELD DISTRICT HARRIERS AND ATHLETIC CLUB 

THE PROMOTION OF COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION IN HEALTHY RECREATION BYTHE PROVISION OF FACILITIES FOR ATHLETICS.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There have been multiple defaults for filing returns
  • The Board is completely male

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Accounts have been filed late on 4 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
