ONE YOUNG WORLD LIMITED

One Young World organises Annual Conferences that are attended by the brightest young people from around the world, helping them make lasting connections to create positive change. One Young World has grown in both capacity and stature and for many organisations sending delegates has become an integral part of their leadership development, human resources and sustainability programmes.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • More than half of total income was derived from trading and fees in the latest year
  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Charities Commission has issued an Official Warning on this charity (see details below)
  • This charity is not recognised by HMRC for Gift Aid according to its latest published return
  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • This charity has an endowment fund which generates much of its income. Its latest spending amounts to only -1678.8% of total funds
  • There was a deficit on unrestricted reserves of £500,174 at the last year end after deducting the value of own use assets
  • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
