Appleby Emergency Response Group's purpose is to assist the community of the Parish of Appleby to plan, prepare and recover from an emergency. We work in partnership with voluntary and statutory authorities to plan for, respond to and recover from emergencies through the use of volunteers.
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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board is predominantly male
  • The Board composition appears to be rather 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
