THE ALCONBURY RECREATION FIELD

The Charity's activities involve the provision, maintenance and delivery of recreational facilities for the local community in the Alconburys and surrounding villages.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
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 dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management 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

It will also be used by the local youth club. The village is in a rural location, so it is difficult for the community to access commercial gym facilities, and will be free to use.
