WHITLEY COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION

To promote the benefit of inhabitants of Whitley and the neighbourhood without distinction of sex, political, religious or other opinions, by associating local authorities, voluntary organisations and inhabitants in a common effort to provide facilities of social welfare for recreation and leisure-time occupation with the objects of improving the conditions of life for the said inhabitants,

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
Why are there 13 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12?

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
