    INSPIRE WALWORTH 

    InSpire operates a community centre and provides a number of local community projects in Walworth, London SE17. The charity's mission is to build confidence, life skills and aspirations for Walworth residents so that, despite the challenges they face, individuals, families living in the local area can thrive. We aim to create opportunities, break down barriers and foster a sense of community.
    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

    • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government and there are significant future grants due to be received

    Financial issues to consider:

    • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
    • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
    Established: 19 years
