THE CENTRE PLACE

To promote any charitable purpose, especially but not exclusively, for the benefit of young people and families residing within Nottinghamshire, by the advancement of education, the relief of poverty and distress and the protection of health and welling, in particular by the provision of advice, support and information with object of improving the conditions of life.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are only 3 trustees
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
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
