POLLYFIELD COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION

To establish and maintain a Community Centre for the inhabitants of the Parish of Bideford and to promote the centre for their benefit by providing facilities in the interest of social welfare for recreation and leisure time occupation
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 dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Over half the Board have joined recently
  • Returns have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
