BENN PARTNERSHIP CENTRE 

The Benn Partnership Centre's mission is to educate and enable the community in Rugby by providing a multi-cultural environment where people can meet, learn, participate and develop together. Towards this end, the Centre hosts various activities around accredited and non-accredited learning, nursery, after-school club and holiday clubs for children and helps build capacity of various clubs.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • 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

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
