LANDPORT YOUTH CENTRE

We offer support for youth services provided by the county council at Landport Community Hub. We provide financial support, including things like paying the rent and paying for improvements in the dedicated youth club area.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • Why is there only 1 trustee?
  • Why is the Board composition very static?

Financial issues to consider:

  • 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
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
