RECREATE DORSET 

The Trust aims to improve the lives of people living and working in Bournemouth, particularly the most vulnerable and deprived and those not achieving their full potential. It takes an independent, evidence based, long term view, seeks to reduce inequality and focus on prevention and ensure the community is able to influence decisions. The Trust works within the principles of the Earth Charter.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers and there are significant future grants due to be received

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
  • 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
Established: 11 years
