MAIDSTONE COMMUNITY SUPPORT CENTRE 

Provision of affordable office accommodation and meeting spaces, support for the local community
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • 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

Financial issues to consider:

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