    PADDINGTON RECREATION GROUND 

    The activities carried on by the Trust can be found in the Management Plan. Paddington Recreation Ground has been awarded the Civic Trusts Green Flag Award for the past 9 years. This is a national standard for parks that meet high operational and maintenance standards which are assessed annually by judges appointed by the Civic Trust.
    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:

    • This charity uses a corporate trustee

    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 recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
