THE WOKING COMMUNITY FURNITURE PROJECT

Relief of poverty by the supply to needy individuals and families of furniture and household goods at low cost.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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 well diversified in terms of age

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

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

Established: 27 years
