    RUNCORN LOCKS RESTORATION SOCIETY

    We have had Community Information Events and enhanced our Information hub/visitors centre. We have undertaken surveys and research applied to various sources to support our work.
    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

    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 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
    • Income has been volatile recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
