VISION REDBRIDGE CULTURE AND LEISURE 

Provision of a wide range of leisure and cultural facilities across the geographical boundaries of London Borough of Redbridge.
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

Financial issues to consider:

  • Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
Established: 16 years
