NEWCASTLE & HARTSHILL CRICKET CLUB

We promote and encourage the playing of cricket for the benefit of the public as a whole, but particularly in the areas of Newcastle-under-Lyme and Hartshill, through the provision of practice and playing facilities, coaching and fixtures for all playing members.
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
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • 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
  • Income has been volatile recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
