LONG BUCKBY CHILDREN'S RECREATION GROUND 

The provision, development and maintenance of a Recreation Ground with suitable equipment and facilities for the use of local children and young people.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board is completely male
  • The Board composition appears to be very static

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
Established: 57 years
