CHINESE COMMUNITY CENTRE - BIRMINGHAM

The Centre works closely with both Statutory & Voluntary agencies and aims to establish a long term venue and deliver a wide range of services and activities with the Chinese Community.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
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 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
Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
Income was lower than spending in the latest year
