Our main activities continue to be focussed around four areas:-?+?-? Groups on the margins-?+?-? Regeneration-?+?-? Sustainability-?+?-? Economic and social justice

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has a robust balance sheet
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 and gender

Financial issues to consider:

Liquidity appeared to be considerably in excess of CC guidelines at the latest year end especially considering the historic stability of income
Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Established: 38 years
