DINAS POWYS LIBRARY AND ACTIVITY CENTRE

The main activity of the charity is to maintain and operate the library for the residents of Dinas Powys. It is staffed by volunteers supported by a part-time librarian funded by the Vale of Glamorgan Council. As well as the provision of books, large print and audio, we offer computer access, dvds, photocopying, children's activities and a range of fund raising events.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
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:

The Board composition appears to be very 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
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
Income has been volatile recently
