ST. PANCRAS COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION 

The main activities of the Charity are the management of a multi-purpose Community Centre in the Camden Central area of London Borough of Camden. From the Centre we provide a range of services to people of all ages, directly and in partnership with others. Our aims are to improve the quality of life of people living locally through the provision of responsive services and activities.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been reasonable growth in spending 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 and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Established: 24 years
