CROWNWAY COMMUNITY CENTRE 

The overall aim of the Charity is to improve the quality of life and well-being of people living in the Earlestown area of Newton-le-Willows by providing focused community-based services and resources to meet the needs identified by the local people, also to provide social and recreational opportunities for local groups, organisations and individuals.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years, despite a decline more recently
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
  • 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
