THE ARC COMMUNITY HUB

The Grange Park Centre Charity has been created to secure donated finances, commission the construction of a local Community Centre building and finally manage and run the community centre to service the needs of the local community and all its residents. A committed group of local residents are dedicated to deliver this vision with the assistance of the wider community

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years, despite a decline more recently
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
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
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
Income has been volatile recently

Established: 10 years
