THE CARNEGIE HERNE HILL COMMUNITY TRUST CIO 

CCT exists to develop a Community Hub in the Carnegie Library building at Herne Hill, south London, which is a beautiful historic building and a well-loved local landmark. With Lambeth Council support the Trust is working to repurpose the building as a sustainable, multi-use resource for all residents, centred on lifelong learning, arts & entertainment as well as general health & wellbeing.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender 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
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
