HORNSEY VALE COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION

The charity maintains and runs Hornsey Vale Community Centre in London N8. We provide space for hire to local community for regular classes and activities that benefit local people. We also hire space for community projects, parties and events and also run a monthly Lunch Club.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent 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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
