WESTWOOD 2015 LIMITED

Our charitable objective is stopping social exclusion, we have defined it as Stopping Social Segregation. We support both our Local Geographic Community and other communities of interest, or circumstance by developing inclusive projects and providing something for all in the Community Activities we run and organise.We are Volunteer Led and hoping to make Volunteer Opportunities Available.

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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
There are only 3 trustees
The Board is completely male
The Board composition appears to be very 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
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending

Established: 6 years
(8 years as a company)
