CENTRAL SWINDON NORTH PARISH COMMUNITY LIBRARY & LEISURE TRUST

Makes grants to organisations, Provides buildings/facilities/open space, Provides advocacy/advice/information
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • 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
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is completely male

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
