VICTORIA COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION

We are an award-winning charity whose main aims and objectives are to provide and manage youth services on the Victoria Estate and surrounding areas. Additionally, we enable the delivery of vital services such as growing and delivering fresh vegetables to people in need. We enable the delivery of free meals, skills, training and advice with everyday enquiries such as money management.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently and there are significant future grants due to be received
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
The Board composition appears to be rather static
Latest return is overdue

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Latest accounts are overdue for filing and returns have been filed late on 5 occasions over the last 5 years
