BRIERLEY HILL COMMUNITY FORUM

We lead in community regeneration as part of a major physical and economic regeneration project in Brierley Hill. This aims to ensure that local people benefit from the overal project.We work with a wide range of community, voluntary and faith groups in addition to public and private partners.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years, despite a decline more recently
The Board appears to be well diversified 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
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
