SOUTH WEST YOUTH MINISTRIES 

South West Youth Ministries is a youth ministry that places trainee youth and schools workers with ministry partners (churches and schools-work projects) throughout the South West of England. SWYM seeks to promote local churches and bring them together in an informal association that works together to be as strategic and effective as possible in Christian schools-work and youth ministry.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
