STOCKPORT COUNTY COMMUNITY TRUST

The charity arranges, promotes and delivers activities for the benefit of the public in particular in Stockport and its surrounding areas, including community participation in healthy recreation for children and other citizens who have needs due to their disablement, poverty or other social and economic circumstances - with the aim of improving their overall health, skills and conditions of life.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly male
  • 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
