BUILDING COMMUNITIES TRUSTEE LIMITED

FUNDING AND SUPPORT TO COMMUNITIES TO REDUCE THE IMPACT OF POVERTY.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers and there are significant future grants due to be received
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition
This charity is based in an area of high deprivation

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are 13 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
