STRAND COMMUNITY TRUST 

Running a community centre in Dalwish; providing care, education, meals etc mainly for elderly and disabled people
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers, including a Community Foundation, recently
  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and 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
  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing and returns have been filed late on 5 occasions over the last 5 years
  • Income was lower than spending in the latest year
Established: 14 years
(15 years as a company)
