FINSBURY PARK TRUST

Finsbury Park Trust supports vulnerable people and responds to community need in order to improve the lives of all people in Finsbury Park. We support local people to take action to improve their lives for the better and respond to community need. The charity was established to play a pivotal role in regenerating the Finsbury Park neighbourhood, which lies on the corner of three boroughs.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period, despite a decline more recently
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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

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