To improve the quality of live of local people through a diverse programme of activities including social, recreational, sporting and educational projects, with a focus on the most vulnerable and disadvantaged.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
