WISBECH LIONS CLUB (CIO)

Wisbech Lions Club, through its members, raises funds from the public and uses those funds to help people, mainly in the area in which it operates. As a result we donate the bulk of that money for the benefit of citizens in our locality: e.g. social welfare, relief of poverty and for persons in need, the advancement of health, environmental concerns, recreation, assisting with education.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received Government grants
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

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
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
