MONTY'S COMMUNITY HUB

Monty's Community Hub is based in an area of Southampton, which ranks highly across multiple indices of deprivation, partnering with our community to enable personal, social and spiritual growth. Monty's works alongside local residents (especially children and families) to grow their skills/aspirations/capacity, so that the local community is enabled to identify and respond to their own needs.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • 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 gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

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