CROYDON NEIGHBOURHOOD CARE ASSOCIATION 

To promote, support and develop local neighbourhood care schemes within the London Borough of Croydon for the relief of isolated and vulnerable individuals within the community.
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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board composition appears to be rather static and has little diversity 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
