A multi use community hub, with spaces available for use by other organisations as well as The Hub itself. Numerous different activities, including cafes, training and 121 support for individuals/families

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received backing from a grant maker
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
Returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 3 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

Income has been volatile recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
