THE HOLLOWAY NEIGHBOURHOOD GROUP 

We provide support and services and build connections to empower people of all ages in Islington to lead fulfilled lives as part of their community. We deliver a wide range of wellbeing activities including counselling and complementary therapies, physical activity and creative classes, and support in getting online. We provide community space for use by other local organisations.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • 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
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • 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
Established: 39 years
