CLAPGATE COMMUNITY FUND 

We raise money for resources, activities and capital items for children that attend Clapgate Primary School and the surrounding community of Belle Isle.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 3 trustees
  • The Board composition appears to be rather 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
  • Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 3 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • Income was lower than spending in the latest year
