OKEHAMPTON COMMUNITY AND RECREATION ASSOCIATION

To advance education and provide facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation and leisure-time occupation with the objectives of improving the conditions of life for all those living in the catchment area of the Charity.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • 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
  • The Board is completely male

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
