THORNBURY AND DISTRICT COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION 

We provide community space to local community groups to use for their activities and meetings. We also organise our own events and activities for the 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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

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