THE CITY OF LEEDS YMCA

Primarily working with young people offering a variety of activities. Also provides facilities for the community involving all ages, faiths, ethnicities, genders and abilities.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • 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 age

Financial issues to consider:

  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
