MERSEY YOUTH SUPPORT TRUST

We work with people that face particular barriers to conventional employment. We help them take responsibility for their own future and help them explore the possibility of self employment. They will be able to test their business idea and we will help them ensure they have funding in place. We will offer them their own office space. We then provide timely, relevant and on-site mentoring.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

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

Financial issues to consider:

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