RYE COMMUNITY CENTRE ASSOCIATION

provide a community centre for the use of the inhabitants of Rye and the neighbourhood
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • 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 gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • Why is the Board composition very static?

Financial issues to consider:

  • Spending is declining
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
