SWINDON HINDU TEMPLE TRUST

Swindon Hindu Temple is a place for Hindu worship and community cohesion, and caters for the religious, social, spiritual, cultural and educational needs of the Hindu community in particular and other communities in general in and around the borough of Swindon, Wiltshire.

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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
Income has been volatile recently
