PIN GREEN COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION 

we run a community centre in the Pin Green area of Stevenage, providing halls for local people to hire for a range of activities including keeping fit, dance classes and other recreational. We also run a lunch club during the week and coffee mornings. The centre is a place where people can come to socialise as well get information.
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 the Government
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

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