NEWBIGIN COMMUNITY TRUST

The Charity's vision is for Newbigin House to become a seedbed for urban change, enabling opportunities for neighbours to express gifts, passions and dreams as a basis for renewing our common life together in Winson Green and Handsworth, with a focus on the advancement of social inclusion and community capacity building.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers and there are significant future grants due to be received
  • 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
