ABERGAVENNY COMMUNITY TRUST 

We run services in response to community needs & enable individuals, families, local groups, voluntary bodies and statutory agencies to hold events or run activities. We started craft groups and activities that promote well-being, and Community Kids for parents & toddlers. We offer opportunities for volunteering & skill sharing whilst providing affordable, nutritious meals recycling waste food.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • 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:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy

Financial issues to consider:

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