MOAT HOUSE COMMUNITY TRUST 

MHCT will develop as a sustainable community anchor organisation working for and with our area of benefit (the WEHM / NDC area), as recommended and supported by the WEHM Partnership and other strategic partners, with an asset and enterprise base that allows the charity to stimulate wealth creation and community development long after the life of the NDC programme in Coventry.
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 and a Community Foundation
  • 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
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
Established: 16 years
