WATH HALL LIMITED 

The charity is looking to provide services to the local community by acquiring what was known as Wath Town Hall from Rotherham MBC. The services planned are varied and as yet not fully formalised as the charity is yet to acquire the premises but will include a heritage centre to showcase the buildings history.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • There are only 2 trustees
  • 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 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period but has stabilised more recently
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
Established: 8 years
