DUTCH POT LUNCH AND SOCIAL CLUB

Lunch Club, social, Health and Welfare activities

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
Returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

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