    THE GAYWOOD COMMUNITY CENTRE 

    Fundraising to provide better facilities for the use of the hall by the community young and old
    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

    • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
    • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
    • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

    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: 56 years
