LIVERPOOL SIX COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION

We run a community centre for local people, offering meeting facilities for local residents free of charge, adult learning and training classes/sessions, fitness classes, social club/bingo and in school holidays play schemes for children and young people. We have many contacts with local organisations and provide sign posting information on a wide variety of social issues from health to job ops
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers and there are significant future grants due to be received
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

  • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
  • Income has been volatile recently
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
