THE ANSTICE COMMUNITY TRUST 

The Anstice Community Trust (ACT) is a charity formed by a group of local people. We lease the Anstice from Madeley Town Council and run the building as a community centre on behalf of the people of Madeley.
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
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Income was lower than spending in the latest year
Established: 9 years
