Burntwood YFC is a local charity providing youth work in and out of schools, colleges and churches across Burntwood and the surrounding areas. We are an independent local centre of Youth for Christ and we work with young people from ages 10-19 years old and up to 25 for those with learning difficulties. We work in accordance with the five outcomes set out in Every Child Matters.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received Government grants
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile recently
