THE HAVEN COMMUNITY PROJECT 

We run a small community centre in Welsh House Farm, Quinton, Birmingham. We offer after school clubs, community lunches, youth activities a play and stay and education/ mentoring/ support around returning to work.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including a Community Foundation and there are significant future grants due to be received
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Established: 13 years
