CHESTNUTS COMMUNITY CENTRE EASTFIELD CIO

We are a Community centre, holding a variety of different activities for all ages. These start from family bingo, to coffee morning, youth club, dance classes, gentle exercise classes. We also hire the building for private and family functions.

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:

Why is the Board completely female?
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
