THE CHARING CROSS CENTRE
The centre offers rooms and facilities to a variety of organisations who are active in caring, counselling, rehabilitation and community welfare. We welcome other groups who follow similar interests,particularly those working for the benefit of young people
Objects
The objects of the Charing Cross Centre are: 1) To help and educate young persons and vulnerable adults through their leisure-time activities to develop physical, mental and spiritual capacities that they may grow to full maturity as individuals and members of society and that their conditions of life may be improved. 2) To provide facilities for recreation or other activities for young persons and vulnerable adults in the interest of their educational and social welfare and so that their conditions of life may be improved.
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity reported a net outgoing of resources for the year, reducing total funds from £601,200 to £584,190. However, the trustees confirm that actual free reserves are in excess of their stated policy target, which aims to maintain approximately twelve months of unrestricted charitable expenditure (£105,000) alongside designated funds for property and repairs. The filing indicates no material uncertainties regarding the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
