LIGHTWAVES COMMUNITY TRUST

Lightwaves Community Trust provides the residents of Wakefield with a community-run facility for sport, leisure, social and community activities to advance their well-being, health and prospects and to promote cohesion within the community

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
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

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

Established: 11 years
