WATERBEACH AND LANDBEACH ACTION FOR YOUTH

Our project helps and educates young people in the civil parishes of Waterbeach and Landbeach, Cambridgeshire, through their leisure time activities by the employment of Youth Workers, so as to develop their physical, mental and spiritual capacities that they may grow to full maturity as individuals and members of society and that their conditions of life may be improved.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why are there only 2 trustees?
  • Why is the Board completely male?
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static and has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

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