THE SELSDON CENTRE TRUST

Providing a community centre and a meals service for retired people providing leisure and recreation facilities to those people and thereby assisting in the support of elderly people in the community.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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 gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Over half the Board have joined recently

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
