BEDWELL COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION

We provide a wide range of activities & services for the people of the Bedwell area & the wider town to make the community centre a place where people are made to feel welcome. We rent rooms to pre school, dancing classes, childrens centre, churches, college courses, organisations & many more.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
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
