KINGS CROSS - BRUNSWICK NEIGHBOURHOOD ASSOCIATION 

We work with many different members of the Camden community and provide many activities and events that local residents can attend.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • 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
Established: 23 years
