THE CHELLINGTON CENTRE 

The Chellington Centre is a residential & day use centre for groups of young people to engage in their programmes of education & development providing opportunities to build self- confidence & celebrate life. We have developed relationships with various charities, church and other youth groups as well as schools for the provision of outside the classroom activities and residential experiences.
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 gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

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