WALLASEY VILLAGE LIBRARY & COMMUNITY CENTRE 

The charity was established following a successful application to Wirral Borough Council to secure the future of the library via their 'Community Asset Transfer' process. The charity seeks to reopen the building, maintaining a library, freely available to residents, while also incorporating a dedicated community space and a cafe.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • This charity appears to be dormant
