SEDGEFIELD ARTS RECREATION AND COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION

we provide all forms of service/arts/leisure/sport required by our community regardless of age or ability

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 several prominent grant makers recently
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Why are there 14 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12?

Financial issues to consider:

Income was lower than spending in the latest year
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
