BROADFIELD YOUTH AND COMMUNITY CENTRE

The Centre works to raise aspirations and improve the quality of community and family wellbeing. It is in use 7 days each week with over 30 groups operating from it each week providing a wide variety of activities for all sectors in the community. We also work in partnership with the local authority and other organisations to improve the quality of life for the inhabitants of Broadfield.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • 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:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • Why is the Board completely male?
  • Why is the Board composition very static?

Financial issues to consider:

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