BISHOP AUCKLAND COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP

To maintain and manage the Four Clocks Centre, and to promote for the benefit of the inhabitants of Bishop Auckland and the neighbourhood, through the provision of the Community Resource Centre, and the provisions of a Venture Out Project, Family Contact Centre Project, Four Clocks Club Project, and a Cultivate 4 Life Project

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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 age

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

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

Established: 21 years
