COLLINGWOOD BOWLING CLUB 

Our mission is to bring the community into bowling whilst providing a social, supportive and friendly environment. Collingwood is also a club filled with top class seasoned bowlers, many at County level and we are always keen to welcome new bowlers to the club. We run Saturday morning sessions from 10.00am during the summer season at Heaton Terrace, North Shields just of Billy Mill. See you there.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period but has stabilised more recently
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
Established: 7 years
