NEWHAM COMMUNITY PROJECT

The principle activity of the charity is to provide community facilities to members of the public, in particular the youth.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why are there only 3 trustees?
  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age
  • Over half the Board have joined recently
  • Returns have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

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