Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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 and there are significant future grants due to be received
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

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 has been volatile recently

Established: 9 years
(11 years as a company)

Many of the children have difficult family backgrounds and little access to safe, outside space. The playground is very inclusive and frequently attended by children with additional support needs. The availability of after-school and holiday activities ensures not only that children stay safe, but that they have the opportunity to make new friends, grow in confidence, challenge themselves, learn new skills and fulfil their potential. The grant towards a paid playground co-ordinator will help strengthen the organisation, and enable the project to take advantage of new opportunities for growth.
