UNIVERSITY OF YORK GRADUATE STUDENTS' ASSOCIATION

The GSA aims to provide a social community for postgraduates through our dedicated postgraduate welcome week, regular events, trips and free sport. We represent postgraduate views on a variety of university committees, provide academic, welfare support and offers advice on all postgraduate matters. Furthermore the GSA provides services to the University's large and diverse postgraduate community.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age 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
