EAST FINCHLEY COMMUNITY TRUST

East Finchley Community Trust operates within the area of East Finchley post code N2 and close surrounding areas. We undertake a number of projects in line with our objectives throughout the year. Currently the Trust hosts and supports the Friends of Market Place Playground, runs a pollinator trail project throughout our area of benefit and holds the funds for the East Finchley Town Team.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government and there are significant future grants due to be received
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
The Board is predominantly female

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
