SHROPSHIRE YOUTH SUPPORT TRUST

GENERAL CHARITABLE PURPOSES / EDUCATION / TRAINING / THE PREVENTION OR RELIEF OF POVERTY via support in self employment and other
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • 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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity

Financial issues to consider:

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