MEN'S SHED FLEETWOOD CIO

THE CHARITY SUPPORTS THE COMMUNITY OF FLEETWOOD

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is predominantly male
and returns have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 4 years

Financial issues to consider:

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