CAMDEN HIGHLINE 

The Camden Highline's primary purpose is to transform a disused railway viaduct running from Camden Town to King's Cross into a new elevated park and garden walk, which will serve as the foundation for new community activity in the area.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 3 trustees
  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
