THE STEVENAGE COMMUNITY TRUST

To support charities, local groups and individuals in Stevenage and the immediate surrounding area with small grants. Money is raised from corporate membership subscription, fund raising and donations.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy

Financial issues to consider:

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