PERTH GREEN COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION CIO

To promote the benefit of the inhabitants of South Tyneside and the neighbourhood without distinction. As well as a Football Association registered pitch, we also offer a wide range of room and facilities for community hire and use. The centre also offers a range of organised activities open and accessible to the whole community.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from multiple prominent grant makers recently
  • There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why are there only 4 trustees?
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

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