SOMERDALE SHED AND COMMUNITY GARDEN

We provide workshop facilities and a community garden space. The garden can be enjoyed by the public, and a gardening group welcomes members who wish to take part in developing and maintaining this space. The Shed building provides workshop space for members to enjoy woodwork, craft, and refreshments. We encourage people to attend our free trial sessions without obligation.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received backing from a grant maker recently

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

Financial issues to consider:

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