THE NET COMMUNITY HUB

A community space to bring together elderly and isolated people in the community by running a number of activities each week, including a coffee morning, Time to Talk, Chairobics and arts & crafts.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 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
Why is the Board composition very 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
