HONITON TOWN COMMUNITY FOOTBALL AND SPORTS ASSOCIATION 

We are a local charity that provides opportunities to local children through the provision on sports facilities and coaching, primarily Youth Football coaching and participation in local Youth Football leagues (competitive and non-competitive).
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is completely male
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

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
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
