RIGHT TO PLAY UK LIMITED

Right To Play is a global organisation that uses the transformative power of play - playing sports, playing games - to educate and empower children affected by conflict, poverty and disease. We reach more than one million children in regular weekly activities, and have a direct impact on the development of critical life skills that affect positive and sustainable change.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from a grant maker recently
Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Why are there 13 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12?

Financial issues to consider:

Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
Fundraising costs are extremely high relative to funds raised
