THE NIGHTINGALE CENTRE (UNITARIAN) 

A Unitarian conference centre based in the village of Great Hucklow, Derbyshire to further the religious and other charitable work of the Unitarian and Free Christian Churches including: (a) the relief of those in need by reason of youth, age, ill-health, financial hardship or other disadvantage; and (b) the provision of facilities for the education of students of educational establishments.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has received considerable income from legacies in recent years
  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Over half the Board have joined recently

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
