PRUDHOE COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP 

Prudhoe Community Partnership is a development trust representing education, churches, local authorities, voluntary groups, local businesses and members of the public. The Partnership manages The Spetchells Centre, a purpose built community hub in Prudhoe and takes charitable initiatives for the good of the town.
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 gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy

Financial issues to consider:

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