TRINITY CENTRE WHITBY

Trinity Centre is a social activity centre for older people in Whitby and the surrounding rural area. The centre aims to combat social isolation amongst the lonely and disadvantaged older people of the district by enhancing a person's self worth by the provision of activities and events that encourage people to develop new skills, make new friends and feel a valued member of the community.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • 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:

  • Why is the Board completely female?

Financial issues to consider:

  • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
