To enhance the environment, promote environmental improvements in Seven Dials and the surrounding conservation areas, protect and enhance the built heritage and to educate the public in matters relating to the history of the area and its heritage.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received Government grants
  • The Board appears to be well diversified 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
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
