AVALON CAMPS 2017 

Avalon Camps is a local charity based in Somerset, which gives disadvantaged children from Bristol, between the ages of 7 and 10, an opportunity to have a holiday in the countryside.
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:

  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
Established: 7 years
