FALLOWFIELD LIBRARY & COMMUNITY RESOURCE CENTRE

The objects of the CIO are as follows: 1) To advance the education of the public in Fallowfield and the surrounding area by the provision of a lending library. 2) To benefit residents via advancing education and providing facilities in the interests of social welfare recreation and leisure time occupation with the objective of improving the conditions of life for the residents.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
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:

One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity

Financial issues to consider:

Income was lower than spending in the latest year
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
