COMMUNITY CHANGE PROGRAMME 

The mission of Community Change Programme is to inspire vulnerable people to make positive life changes. We work within the local community to relieve the effects of poverty on families and help socially excluded people, e.g. substance abusers to reintegrate into society and improve their employability education, training, and work experience.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Accounts have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • Income has been volatile recently
Established: 8 years
