WESTON CHURCH YOUTH PROJECT

WCYP serves young people living in Weston, Southampton and the surrounding areas by helping them advance in life by developing their skills, capacities and capabilities to enable them to participate in society as independent, mature and responsible individuals; advancing education; providing recreational activities; and advancing the Christian religion.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government 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:

The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
