HINDMARSH VILLAGE HALL 

The charity is a village hall, which organises and provides facilities for social, entertainment, sporting and other activities for the local community. The building has a large, recently refurbished, upper hall and a smaller lower room, either or both of which can be booked by local individuals and organisations for meetings, functions, parties, concerts and other events and activities.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 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:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

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