THE RETREAT ASSOCIATION

Producing resources and information leaflets on retreatsOffering individual, appropriate and impartial advice to enquirers about retreatsFacilitating networking events and conferences for members and providing a national conference every three years0001

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board has little diversity in terms of age
Over half the Board have joined recently

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
