GAMES AID

GamesAid is a UK video games industry based charity which distributes funds to a range of charities which benefit children and young people.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Over half the Board have joined recently

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
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending

Established: 24 years
