PLYMPTON HUB 

A centre for Family Support in the Plympton area. We began as the community action arm of the CCBC church and now operate with numerous partners to provide support for anyone in need in the local community.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board composition appears to be very 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
  • Spending is declining
  • Income has been volatile recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
