NORTHAMPTON IRISH SUPPORT GROUP

We hold community based activities including our weekly lunch club and keep fit class, monthly meals, walking group and outreach services to combat social exclusion and promote good wellbeing. We have an ongoing 'Digital Inclusion Library' tablet loan scheme. We also celebrate Irish culture in the Northamptonshire area, with our bi-annual dinner dance and 'Stories of Migration' history project.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

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
