The Community Centre continues to organise several activities benefiting the Sikh Community.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has received considerable income from legacies in recent years
Fundraising costs are low relative to funds raised

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity is not recognised by HMRC for Gift Aid according to its latest published return
There are only 4 trustees
The Board is completely male
The Board composition appears to be very static

Financial issues to consider:

This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £10,301,343 available, equivalent to 123 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding

Established: 23 years
