CHASE MEADOW COMMUNITY CENTRE LTD

Our activities focus on fun, informative and healthy clubs and are undertaken to further our charitable purposes for the public benefit. We aim to provide as many different types of activities as possible to benefit a broad range of people within the community. St Michaels Church is also a partner in the running of the centre and runs a variety of activities which are open to all.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received modest 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:

  • Why are there only 4 trustees?
  • The Board 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
