ROCK COMMUNITY PROJECT

A Community centre based around social activities with specific reference to the elderly and disabled of all ages including lunch club, indoor bowls, tea dance, gentle exercise etc

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

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

Established: 28 years
