BURNLEY PLAY ASSOCIATION

Provision of recreational play and learning activities and other leisure facilities for children and young people including those with special and additional needs, both cognitive and physical, especially from the deprived areas of Burnley and district.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Latest accounts are overdue for filing and returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years
