MARBLE HILL PLAYCENTRES

Marble Hill Playcentres operates a fully supervised open access adventure playground for children aged 5-15 years and a family drop-in centre for children aged 0-5 years.

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:

Income has been volatile recently
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
