THE HOUSE ON THE CORNER COMMUNITY PROJECT LIMITED

Community activities for all age groups in our community
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • Why are there only 4 trustees?

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
