LONGFIELD HALL TRUST

THE FRIENDS OF LONGFIELD HALL MANAGES A COMMUNITY HALL, OWNED BY THE LONDON BOROUGH OF LAMBETH, ON BEHALF OF THE LOCAL COMMUNITY.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • Income was lower than spending in the latest year
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
