THE NATIONAL COMMUNITIES RESOURCE CENTRE LIMITED 

Our mission is to close the inequality gap that exists in communities across the UK by providing training, support and resources for those people living in the lowest income neighbourhoods.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received Government grants
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period but has stabilised more recently
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
Established: 32 years
