ALPHINGTON COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION

OUR ASSOCIATION PROVIDES FACILITIES FOR THE RESIDENTS OF ALPHINGTON AND THE SURROUNDING AREAS. THE BOOKINGS FOR THE COMMUNITY CENTRE ARE FOR DIVERSE ACTIVITIES, INVOLVING ALL AGE GROUPS
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • 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

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Accounts have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
