DULVERTON TOWN HALL

Dulverton Town Hall is a community hall at the heart of the town, offering a quality accessible venue for local and other community organisations and events. The venue brings people together improving their health and well being. An adjoining Thrift Shop, run by volunteers, sells donated goods. The proceeds help the trustees continue to improve the premises and keep hire charges affordable.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

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