CENACOLO COMMUNITY UK

Our Charity welcomes in desperate young people who are suffering from the strains of life and may previously have turned to drug, alcohol or substance abuse. In Community they are able to rebuild their lives for a new life in society. The Community helps them rebuild their lives in a new social, spiritual and moral way and to find peace, joy and a sense of meaning in their lives
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • Why are there only 4 trustees?
  • Returns have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

  • Income has been volatile recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
