SOUTH SHEFFIELD COMMUNITY INITIATIVES LTD 

SSCI operates Jordanthorpe Library in the communities of Batemoor and Jordanthorpe in Sheffield 8. The library is also used by other partner organisations to provide training courses and other services to the community.
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
  • 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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • 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
