STUART MEMORIAL HALL 

The Trustees manage the Tempsford Stuart Memorial Village Hall. The Hall is used by the community for different social events. More widely, people come from areas surrounding the Hall for events such as weddings, christening parties, birthday parties, craft events, business meetings and other activities. Another charity, the Tempsford Museum & Archives leases two rooms in the Hall
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • 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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
Established: 63 years
