THE SHADWELL COMMUNITY PROJECT

To provide a safe and stimulating space for young people in East London. To encourage child development by placing children at the centre of what we do. Also to support local families and parents and encourage all parts of our community to come together. This is achieved through the provision of various projects and activities run from our open access adventure playground.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
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 dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Latest accounts are overdue for filing and returns have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years
