HEBDEN BRIDGE COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION LTD

Hebden Bridge Community Association is the development trust for Hebden Bridge and neighboring communities. Its main function is to manage and operate Hebden Bridge Town Hall as a community hub and focal point of community and civic life, following the asset transfer of the building from Calderdale Council in 2010.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £2,304,934 available, equivalent to 60 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
