BRITWELL YOUTH AND COMMUNITY PROJECT

The Britwell Youth and Community Project (BYCP) has been serving the children, young people and wider community of Britwell for almost 60 years. We are committed to enhance our work over the coming years in order to support Children and Young People to make a successful transition into adulthood. BYCP provides a range of leisurely activities for young people afterschool and during the school
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently and there are significant future grants due to be received
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

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