WATERSIDE CENTRE GRAVESEND LTD

Waterside is a family centre offering services to families with pre-school children. We offer a number of services including structured Drop Ins, 1:1 support, parenting courses, play therapy and holiday activities.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is predominantly female
Over half the Board have joined recently
Returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

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