THE RAINBOW CENTRE MORECAMBE

The Rainbow Centre is a community centre for the Over 50s. We have about 20 different activities taking place throughout the week, which include Tai Chi, Art classes, sequence dancing, computer classes, short mat bowling etc. We operate a luncheon club and provide meals for luncheon clubs both at the Centre and in the community.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
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
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
