PORTISHEAD YOUTH & COMMUNITY CENTRE LIMITED

The youth club aims to offer young people the opportunity to participate in a challenging, educational and stimulating atmosphere along with encouraging personal development and self confidence. The Centre offers a wide range of activities which are relevant to the needs of young people today
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been reasonable growth in spending 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:

  • Why are there 14 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12?
  • 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
