KENTISH TOWN COMMUNITY CENTRE 

Kentish Town Community Centre promotes the benefit of the people living in, working in, receiving education in or visiting Kentish Town. We run a Youth Service and provide many activities for older people. We have an onsite foodbank 'The Pantry' and provide advice services. We also offer rooms for hire.
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 and gender 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
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
