BRENTWOOD COMMUNITY AND VOLUNTARY SERVICE

Brentwood CVS is a local independent infrastructure organisation that exists to promote, support and strengthen the voluntary and community sector in the borough.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

This Charity has changed registration and some of the financial and donation history pertains to the previous entity
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Income has been volatile recently
