SAMUEL LITHGOW YOUTH CENTRE

Samuel Lithgow Youth Centre's main services target disadvantaged young people aged 5 to 19 years old through two different youth projects and an after school club, but we also offer supporting activities to lone parents and under 5's, local students, BME groups, women, and senior citizens.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
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 gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

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

Established: 19 years
