THE SUFFOLK HORSE SOCIETY

To maintain the purity of the breed known as the Suffolk horse and to promote the breeding of the same and matters relating thereto.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
One or more trustees receive benefits from the charity
There are 17 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12

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 recently
