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
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent 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
