ST MATTHEWS COMMUNITY HALLS

PROVIDES A WARM, WELCOMING ENVIRONMENT WITH QUALITY FACILITIES FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE LOCAL COMMUNITY AND IN DOING SO ALLOWS OUR COMMUNITY USERS TO FLOURISH
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • 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

Financial issues to consider:

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