SHREWSBURY YOUTH FOR CHRIST 

We are an independent, self-financing and cross-denominational Christian (Secondary & FE Colleges) Schools Worker Project. We deliver assemblies and PSHE and RE lessons and run after school clubs and mentoring sessions in the Shrewsbury area. We support Christian Union groups and organise town wide events for young Christians - Taking the Good News relevantly to the young people of Shrewsbury.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • 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:

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