WOODLANDS ESTATE RESIDENT FREEHOLDERS' ASSOCIATION 

We are a voluntary Community Association. We maintain premises for social and community activities for all ages eg Whist drives, Parent and Toddler, Film shows, Illustrated talks, Summer Fun Day, Quizzes, Social Events. We also welcome a local Special Needs School to use the open space and sports courts, and we support local charities.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • 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
  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • There are 13 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
