YOUTH WITH A FUTURE

Y.W.A.F. works alongside other organisations, to support young homeless people aged 16-25, and those in supported housing. We also support many local positive youth initiatives and individuals with education, training and employment needs.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • 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

Financial issues to consider:

  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
