WESTWARD PARISH ROOMS 

Maintaining and renting the former schoolroom, Westward, Cumbria
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
