LONDON COMMUNITY BOXING LIMITED 

The charity's objects ('the Objects') for the public benefit are the promotion of community participation in healthy recreation in particular by the provision of facilities for amateur boxing and boxing fitness training in London.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board composition appears to be rather 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
Established: 11 years
