NORTH DEAL COMMUNITY COMPANY CIO 

The Charity promotes the community of North Deal Kent by providing a community centre, local park area development and various other requirements if possible as and when they become needed to the area. The community centre hires room spaces for organisations in and around the area. It promotes well being and social activities for all ages and abilities and is run by mainly volunteer staff.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There has been reasonable growth in spending 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 the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 4 trustees
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

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