WESTCROFT COMMUNITY CENTRE

Westcroft Community Centre exists to empower, inspire and improve the local community. We provide support, activities and opportunities for all centre users and volunteers to realise their potential in a safe, welcoming and inclusiveenvironment.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
There have been no income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

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
