THE TIN HAT CENTRE

This is a community resource centre. Our centre includes meeting rooms which can accommodate small conferences and training courses, a community partnership library, community cafe and fully equipped creche. Another charity is based within our building. We work with many partners in providing skills, confidence, volunteering opportunities, workshops and events to the community.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

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

Financial issues to consider:

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