THE OFFORDS RECREATION HUT, LOCALLY KNOWN AS OFFORD VILLAGE HALL 

Village Hall for the use of the inhabitants of Offord D'Arcy and Offord Cluny and the neighbourhood.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • 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 well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are 15 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12

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 was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
