FOLIO SUTTON COLDFIELD

FOLIO Sutton Coldfield stands for Friends Of Libraries In Our Sutton Coldfield. We facilitate educational and community-engaging events and programmes supporting Sutton Coldfield library services to ensure that public libraries in the town do not just survive, but thrive at the heart of our community. Our activities are largely financed by grant-making bodies and fundraising

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
The Board is completely female
The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
