CENTRE FOR THRIVING PLACES 

We provide training, projects and communication support which help to develop the capacity and skills of the members of socially disadvantaged communities in urban areas in such a way that they are better able to identify, and help meet, their needs and to participate more fully in society.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government and a Community Foundation
  • 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
  • Spending is declining
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
Established: 13 years
