CATALYST STOCKTON ON TEES LIMITED

We have a vision of a coherent and single sector, working together in partnership to shape and deliver the services the community in the Borough of Stockton on Tees need. We want to build on the ethos of support and partnership inherent within the sector by extending this to enable organisations to work together in sourcing funds and opportunities.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity is not recognised by HMRC for Gift Aid according to its latest published return

Financial issues to consider:

Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
