WORLD AT PLAY 

World at Play works to inspire and develop young people through sport & play activities. We partner with youth and community organisations in Wales and abroad to run sport & play activity programmes, deliver accredited sport leader training and donate sports equipment to enable young people to develop their confidence and life skills, and promote cross cultural understanding through sport & play.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
