SKATERHAM

A youth facility primarily run as a skatepark and housed in the former Caterham Army Barracks Guards Chapel, a grade II listed building.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why are there only 3 trustees?
  • Why is the Board composition very 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
