    The Ellesemere Centre provides sports and recreation facilities to a number of rural communities.
    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

    • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
    • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
    • 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
    • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
    Established: 35 years
