BISHOPS LYDEARD VILLAGE HALL AND PLAYING FIELD

The village hall comprises internally 3 halls, stage, kitchen and toilets, and externally an annexe, a childrens play park, playing field and car park. The internal facilities and annexe are hired to a wide range of regular user groups, and also to individuals and organisations for concerts, meetings, parties and wedding receptions. The external facilities are available to all at no charge.

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 including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
There are 14 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 has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending

Established: 38 years
