COMMUNITY IN PARTNERSHIP KNOWLE WEST 

Promotion for public benefit of urban regeneration in the District of Knowle West, Bristol. This achieved by: running the community centre at Filwood Community Centre; organising activities for the community; and acting as a forum for the residents of Knowle West.
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 including the Government and there are significant future grants due to be received
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

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
Established: 24 years
(27 years as a company)
