What the charity does

The past period has been one of continued bookings albeit on a downward trajectory, and it was felt that it was time to close the charity, handing over the management of the building to Highlife Highland (HLH) and the Highland Council.

Why there's no Clarity Score yet

The Clarity Score is computed from full financial filing history. Merkinch Community Centre Association is on the official register but outside the detailed-filing group we currently score (or awaiting its first filings), so we show its official register record instead of a rating. Its score appears automatically once enough filing data exists — never by payment. How scoring works
