WHADDON VILLAGE HALL AND RECREATION GROUND TRUST 

The hall and recreation ground is regularly used for a variety of activities for villagers and nearby businesses and recreation clubs. The hall is available for hire for private functions including childrens parties, wedding receptions, village functions, elections and occasional fund raising fairs.During FY 2013/14, refurbishment was completed using funds from reserves and grants received.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent 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 and dynamic in terms of composition

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
