THE ENTERPRISE CENTRE LIMITED

TEC designs enterprising education projects for all, in particular, those from disadvantaged backgrounds or communities in the UK and in Europe. We raise the profile of enterprise as a tool for self-development and achievement by designing creating innovative projects which explore pathways for individuals, communities and organisations so they can start or enhance their journey to success.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • 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 and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity

Financial issues to consider:

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