MOSELEY ROAD BATHS CIO 

Moseley Road Baths CIO took over the operation of Moseley Road Baths in Balsall Heath, Birmingham, in April 2018 in order to ensure that this greatly valued local heritage swimming facility remains for the benefit of local people. It is operating the swimming pool, training staff and volunteers, attracting new groups, developing new activities and raising funds to keep the baths viable.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending since inception
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are 14 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
