the charity provides facilities in the interests of social welfare, for recreation and leisure time occupations with the object of improving the conditions of life for the inhabitants of the Brookfield area of Preston, and in common effect to advance education and and to improve the physical and economic conditions of life in the said area of benefit
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
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
