Involve and educate young men and women, in their leisure time, with interests and activities designed to develop their physical, mental and spiritual capacities by making grants and donations to suitable charities and other organisations.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
