COMMUNITY HEART PRODUCTIONS

Community Heart Productions is an innovative, community organisation that uses activities as a vehicle to address social issues and exclusion. The organisation seeks to work with socially excluded young people and adults to help them explore the issues that they face each day through the arts, environment, volunteering and youth work.

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 and there are significant future grants due to be received

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are only 4 trustees
The Board composition appears to be 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
Latest accounts are overdue for filing
Income was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
