THE BRIDGEMERE CENTRE

The Bridgemere Centre provides excellently maintained facilities for an Ofsted approved breakfast & afterschool club, party and event hire and a venue for a wide range of regular clubs and activities. We provide all the facilities which a council operated community centre should offer to the local community in an area which currently has no other meeting places.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board 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
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
