BLACKROD SPORTS AND COMMUNITY CENTRE CHARITABLE INCORPORATED ORGANISATION 

Blackrod Sports and Community Centre CIO has a rolling Tenancy at Will and is due to sign a lease with Bolton Council as the owner to manage these indoor and outdoor facilities. Through community management, we aim to increase usage, to widen the activities/events at the Centre, to secure grant funding to develop these facilities, and to work towards achieving a long term, sustainable future.

  • 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 dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:
