COLCHESTER CATALYST CHARITY

Grant making for the relief of the sick or suffering of North East Essex

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender

Financial issues to consider:

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