Vision: To be an integral, flexible, self financing and valued part of a participating and identifiable community.Mission Statement: The provision of a resource offering a wide range of community led activities responsive to the needs and wishes of all current and potential users.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why is the Board composition very static?

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
