THE KIRKGATE CENTRE 

The Kirkgate Centre is a Community centre based in Shipley, West Yorkshire. Our main activities include providing a meeting place, resources and support to community groups, voluntary organisations and other groups working with the community. We develop new activities and services for community benifit. We also provide additional services for older people including social day care.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • 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:

  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

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