GREEN FINGERS DEBDALE

Green Fingers Debdale is a large allotment project for adults with Learning Disabilities. We undertake usual allotment activities: - Sowing, growing, harvesting of fruit and vegetables and simple making and repairs of allotment equipment.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

One or more trustees receive benefits from the charity
The Board is predominantly male
Over half the Board have joined recently
Returns have been filed late on 4 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
