THE BUSHEY FESTIVAL ASSOCIATION

Our aim is to promote Bushey as a vibrant place to live and work; work with others who share the same aims; encourage local creativity and to help inspire active participation. We do this by organising and promoting music, artistic, educational, health and wellbeing, and leisure time activities. These take place during the festival period in July and at various times during the year.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
