To provide a market as a public amenity for the benefit of the public.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received Government grants
  • This charity has a robust balance sheet
  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period, despite a decline more recently
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

  • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £59,352,205 available, equivalent to 104 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
