SAWBRIDGEWORTH UNITED CHARITIES 

The Sawbridgeworth Trust helps those in need, especially the elderly. It also helps in educational visits. We as trustees are very mindful of people not being able to replace general household appliances. Childrens clothing has been another area of need, especially School Uniforms. The Charity also makes an grant at Christmas to all those within their area to help with extra finances at this parti
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • The Board is predominantly female
  • Latest return is overdue

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing and returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years
