ROMSEY MEN'S SHED

Providing facilities to relieve social isolation for adult males in the SO51 postal area
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • Why is the Board 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
