BRIGHTON TABLE TENNIS CLUB 

Brighton Table Tennis Club exists to transform lives by providing positive role models, increasing engagement with education and community and improving health and well-being. The Club not only provides people with positive role models and a place to train, but also with an identity, a sense of belonging and a purpose.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including a Community Foundation and there are significant future grants due to be received
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Established: 9 years
