HARINGEY PLAY ASSOCIATION

Haringey Play Association supports and develops opportunities for all children and young people to be able to experience and enjoy high quality play provision, through supporting groups and individuals and providing direct services across Haringey and London.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

Spending has increased 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 age and gender

Financial issues to consider:

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

Established: 21 years
