THE SOUTH STANLEY PARTNERSHIP

At St. Stephens we provide a very wide range of activities including groups for people with special needs, various levels of fitness programmes from seated exercise to aerobics, craft groups, war gaming plus many more. We have a community cafe with meal delivery service available. We have a community food bank for people experiencing financial hardship and we offer suspended meals.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received backing from multiple prominent grant makers recently
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
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

Established: 7 years
