WALLSEND MEMORIAL HALL & PEOPLE'S CENTRE 

Community Centre for the benefit of the people of Wallsend providing training/education/advice and employability training, food support, activities for older people to reduce social isolation and increase physical activity.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • 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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board composition appears to be rather static and has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

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