MYTIME ACTIVE

A leisure trust that re-invests surpluses to enhance sports, arts, play facilities and well being services. Giving access to affordable, quality, safe, healthy, fun leisure and cultural experiences for all age groups and abilities. Promoting education of the public at large in the advantages of healthy and active lifestyles including benefits of a balanced diet.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
  • 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 and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

  • Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
