UNITED COMMUNITY ACTIVITY NETWORK

1) The promotion of community participation in healthy recreation for the benefit of the public in the West Midland region (the area of benefit) by the provision of facilities or services for participating in sports and physical activities that are capable of promoting health2) To promote the voluntary sector by the provision of training, advice, information and support

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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 predominantly male
Over half the Board have joined recently
Returns have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

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