CROXDALE COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION

We are an Association operating from Croxdale Community Centre for the benefit of the general public and more specifically, the residents of the village of Croxdale and surrounding areas, by providing recreation facilities and community support.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 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:

  • Income was lower than spending in the latest year
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
