LONG ASHTON COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION 

To manage and maintain the Long Ashton Community Centre and Recreation Ground, on behalf of the Parish Council, for the benefit of the inhabitants of Long Ashton.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government and a Community Foundation
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
Established: 62 years
