BETTER COMMUNITY BUSINESS NETWORK LIMITED 

BCBN was set up to identify worthwhile community projects and partner with credible charities. BCBN aims to work for the betterment of our society by helping to fulfil the corporate social responsibility of businesses and encouraging positive community participation.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
