HILLSBOROUGH ARENA SPORTS ASSOCIATION 

The main purpose of the Arena is to develop as a community sport, recreational and social centre, currently it is used by approximately 600 local people per week. It creates a focal point for the community and provides a facility where individuals, clubs and organisations get the opportunity to recognise their own skills and strengths and develop and prosper.
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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 3 trustees
  • 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
  • Accounts have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • Income was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
Established: 16 years
(22 years as a company)
