HARROLD INSTITUTE

The purpose of the committee is to ensure that Centre provides a suitable facility for all local people. Users are Pre School, Dance, Keept Fit, Zumba, Snooker/Youth/Corner Clubs, meeting venue, Parish Council & general hire. We also hold an annual Pit Run in late April which attracts 200 competitors. The Institute (aka Harrold Centre) has been refurbished, reopening in September 2017.

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 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
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending

Established: 50 years
