BIRKENHEAD COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE 

To promote and provide facilities for sport and recreation in the Wirral area in order to improve health and wellbeing, particularly for (but not limited to) young people and those with disabilities.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 3 trustees
  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age
  • 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
