CARDIGAN CENTRE

The Cardigan Centre's public building is used for community activities, educational courses and constructive leisure and welfare programmes, and has offices leased to local enterprises. Specialist work includes services for young people, older people, healthy living, handyperson and gardening services, practical help for groups, networks and enterprises, and provision of community information.

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 age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
Income has been volatile recently
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
