THE FRIENDS OF HORTON CEMETERY

The aim of the Charity is to restore a forgotten cemetery in Epsom Surrey in which up to 9000 people were buried between 1899 and 1955. The charity will also undertake research into and education about the lives of those buried there - seek to trace relatives and descendants and promote a Book of Remembrance containing all the names.
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
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

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

Financial issues to consider:

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