THE NEW CROSS GATE TRUST

NXG Trust promotes the regeneration of New Cross Gate (Lewisham). We work to support the people of New Cross Gate to lead happy, healthy and fulfilled lives. We deliver services primarily focussed around education and employment, but also tackling health, environment and crime. We work with other local organisations to support them in delivering services through a community development approach..

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender

Financial issues to consider:

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

Established: 17 years
