CAFE UNITY 2014

We provide a facility for the local community and small groups to meet and take part in community activities. Including a social meeting point, a focus for the elderly, hosting visits from vulnerable residents of York House, Seashell Trust and Cheadle Royal Hospital. We also provide volunteering opportunities for patients at the end of treatment at the eating disorder clinic.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are only 2 trustees
The Board is completely 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
