GRANGE VILLA COMMUNITY ENTERPRISE

Provision of community activities in Grange Villa and the surrounding area. Activities are provided for the elderly, young people and various interest groups. Catering facilities are also provided with full lunches provided on two days each week.

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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Why are there only 4 trustees?
The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

The latest accounts were qualified
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
