WHITLEY BAY BIG LOCAL

Whitley Bay Big Local is a community-led initiative to enable all who live or work in the Big Local area to get together to improve the community and make the town an even better place to live, work and visit.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
There have been no income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
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
