RESPONSE COMMUNITY PROJECTS (EARLS COURT) LIMITED 

set up in 1976 to help those who are disadvantaged economically, socially or otherwise (whether because of youth, age, disability, language barrier, ethnic origin, gender, sexual orientation, low income or any other reason), to introduce diversity in educational programmes & recreational facilities to help overcome the disadvantage (where applicable) that social exclusion attracts.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 3 trustees

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
