WEST RAINTON AND LEAMSIDE COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION 

The current Management Committee voluntarily manage a community centre named the Jubilee Hall, gifted to the people of the Parish many years ago. In 2007 we inherited a mismanaged Charity and neglected centre, since when we have embarked on a major development strategy that includes capacity building, compliance, accountability, community consultations and a structural refurbishment project.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • 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:

  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Accounts have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile recently
Established: 36 years
