THE DRAGON CENTRE COMPANY LIMITED 

The charity and company exist to raise money to fund and build, and then to run, the New Dragon Centre - youth and community centre for Hanworth.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly male
  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
