SOCIAL SQUARE (UK)

Helping disadvantaged families and the provision of facilities for recreation and leisure for those in need of such.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years, despite a decline more recently
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are only 4 trustees
The Board composition appears to be very static and 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
