IRISH CULTURAL CENTRE HAMMERSMITH LTD

The charity provides an exciting and adventurous cultural programme with the aim of making Irish arts, culture and education accessible to everyone who wants to share, enjoy and participate in quality arts and cultural activities.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
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:

One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity

Financial issues to consider:

Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end
Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
