THE MOORLANDS COMMUNITY CHARITY 

This organisation has run The Moorlands Community Centre in Old Goole for over twenty years, starting from a room in a disused school to currently a centre which has a community cafe, IT suite, meeting rooms, art studio and an area for preparation of our Meals on Wheels service.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • 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 and there are significant future grants due to be received
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly female
  • 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
