GRAVITY HQ

To promote social inclusion for the public benefit by preventing people from becoming socially excluded, relieving the need of those people who are socially excluded and assisting them to integrate into society through the provision of a social club.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
The Board composition appears to be very static

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending

Established: 6 years
