BIRTLEY COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP

Birtley Community Partnership is an umbrella group for all the Churches, Schools, voluntary Groups and Businesses within the Birtley area. We work together to promote the benefits of the people of Birtley without distinction. We work with statutory and voluntary organisations in a common effort to improve the physical and economic conditions of life in the Birtley area.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
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
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Income was lower than spending in the latest year

Established: 14 years
