ISLEHAM COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION LIMITED

Managing the Isleham Community Centre on behalf of Isleham Parish Council.The Community Centre was built to replace the outdated Village Hall and Sports Pavillion that were no longer fit for purpose.
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 gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • Income has been volatile recently but spending has been maintained
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
