ACTION FOR BORSTAL COMMUNITY PROJECT

The Centre offers activities to the families of Borstal, Rochester and surrounding areas. We provide a pre-school for children aged two to four and support parents with education and health issues. There is also an information centre, computer suite and internet access.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • 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 and 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
