BRAMPTON AND BEYOND COMMUNITY TRUST 

Art and Crafts, Cafe and catering for events, a self drive Minibus, and learning and training support (e.g. learning to use computers and the internet). Provision of space to local community groups and other organisations. Projects and activities surrounding social isolation and community engagement along with other issues where identified and appropriate.
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 including the Government and there are significant future grants due to be received
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Spending is declining
  • Income has been volatile recently
Established: 14 years
