LEE GREEN LIVES

Lee Green Lives is a community group that aims to bring life back to Leegate, a run-down shopping centre in Lewisham. We campaign to ensure local residents and shops have a say in any redevelopment, and run activities from a community centre, including youth clubs, knitting & sewing, healthy exercises, a drop-in, computer classes, Indian dance - especially targeting the isolated and disadvantaged.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
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 gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board composition appears to be rather static

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 has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
