BARNET COMMUNITY PROJECTS

Barnet Community Projects exists to facilitate long term social improvement in the London Borough of Barnet. We do this through residents engagement, empowering them to deliver projects that make a difference to the local community. We deliver youth activities, community cafe, skatepark sessions, reparation projects, mentoring programmes, sports sessions & activities to address disadvantage.

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
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers and there are significant future grants due to be received

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
