SALFORD COMMUNITY RELATIONS LINK PROJECT

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

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
Accounts have been filed late on 5 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
