Champion of social and economic regeneration activities in North Hackney.Ownership of assets to promote wellbeing, community cohesion, education, and economic benefit
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why are there only 4 trustees?
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

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