HAVENS COMMUNITY CARS

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There has been strong growth in spending since inception
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:

Why is the Board completely female?

Financial issues to consider:

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