BRANDON UNITED FOOTBALL CLUB

Providing opportunities for young people to be coached, developed and play football. To encourage skills and enjoyment without the pressure of having to achieve. The emphasis is on fun rather than success in winning.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
Why are there only 3 trustees?
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

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