REDDITCH WHEELS PROJECT

We operate Redditch Skatepark the UKs largest outdoor supervised Skatepark for Skateboarding, BMX biking, Scooters and In-line Skating. We utilise this positive youth sports culture to improve conditions of life of young people and introduce them into the Skatepark lifestyle. We stage events and cater for beginners to expert Riders.
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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • One or more trustees receive benefits from the charity
  • The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

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