HIVE

Hive provides information services, resources and network opportunities for voluntary and community sector groups in the Sudbury and District area of Suffolk. It helps new community groups to grow and provides training for trustees, staff and volunteers within local organisations. It now owns a building (a former URC church) which it hires out to local groups.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management 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
