ASHES PLAYING FIELD TRUST 

Owns and maintains a public playing field for recreational and sporting purposes for the people of Howden and the surrounding area.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers, including a Community Foundation, recently
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

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 recently
Established: 60 years
