DEVELOPMENT EDUCATION CENTRE (SOUTH YORKSHIRE)

We work with teachers and many others involved in education to promote a development and global perspective in the curriculum. Using active learning methods based on enquiry into issues and ideas, DECSY aims to help and inspire people to develop the skills and commitment to work together to bring about a more just and sustainable world.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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

Financial issues to consider:

Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
Income has been volatile recently
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
