ST PAULS (SPENNYMOOR) CENTRE LTD

The St Paul's Centre provides high quality meeting and activity facilities which includes a Community Cafe.

Key Objectives identified for the Centre have been achieved and are now being delivered in the community.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
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:

One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending

Established: 14 years
