PARK COMMUNITY ACTION

Park Community Action operates in one of the most deprived areas of Sheffield. We run a local forum and a community centre which includes a volunteer run library, a cafe and youth club. The objects are to improve the conditions of life for the inhabitants of the area by advancing education and by providing facilities for social and leisure time activities

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
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 well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
Income has been volatile recently

Established: 9 years
