BICKNOLLER VILLAGE HALL AND PLAYING FIELD

Provision of a village hall for use by the community, together with a children's play area and playing field.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • 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

Financial issues to consider:

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