    KOCO COMMUNITY RESOURCE CENTRE 

    Our centre exists to improve the quality of life of people through the provision of affordable spaces to not for profit organisations which provide support, education and training; delivering services to those experiencing diminished health and financial hardship , and promoting the development of creative activities to minimise the distress caused by social isolation.
    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

    • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
    • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

    Financial issues to consider:

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