TO PROMOTE THE BENEFIT OF THE INHABITANTS OF NORTHAMPTON EAST AND THE SURROUNDING AREA, IN PARTICULAR, BUT NOT EXCLUSIVELY, THOSE WHO ARE ECONOMICALLY OR SOCIALLY DISADVANTAGED, CHILDREN, THE ELDERLY AND THE DISABLED, BY PROVIDING FACILITIES IN THE INTERESTS OF SOCIAL WELFARE, FOR RECREATION AND LEISURE TIME OCCUPATION WITH THE OBJECT OF IMPROVING THE CONDITIONS OF LIFE FOR THE SAID INHABITANTS.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board is predominantly female
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

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
