RAINHAM AND WIGMORE COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION
Provides a community centre for recreation, education, sports, social and spiritual activities for use by groups and the local population.
Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts
The accounts state that the charity experienced unexpected maintenance issues, including a leaking water tank and a failed immersion heater, which significantly impacted its reserves. Despite these costs, the charity maintained stable occupancy and increased revenue through private party bookings and commercial hires, allowing community hire rates to be sustained. The trustees are currently managing a lengthy and costly transfer to a CIO structure, which has delayed finalizing the accounts.
