    MINARET COMMUNITY CENTRE

    We boast one of the culturally specific community buildings at LBHF, supporting the East/North African communities within the Borough. We act as a vital community hub with over 350 families regularly accessing our building and the therapy services we offer. We work in partnership with many organisations and support our community in connecting with key services they would otherwise not access
    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, despite a decline more recently

    Financial issues to consider:

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