RIPON MEN'S SHED CHARITABLE INCORPORATED ORGANISATION

The Charity provides opportunities for people aged 18 or over (in particular, but not exclusively older men) to undertake or learn craft activities.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very 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:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

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