WYEPLAY

WyePlay provides active stay and play sessions for families with pre-school age children in and around Ross-on-Wye in Herefordshire.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Why is the Board completely female?

Financial issues to consider:

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