DAWDON YOUTH AND COMMUNITY CENTRE

Open 79 hours per week over 7 days, providing a welcoming place for 450 individuals, groups and local residents of all ages to access a wide range of recreational and leisure activities, projects and supportive interventions each week. We make a practical and positive difference by addressing the root causes of multiple deprivation and work towards overcoming social exclusion.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period, despite a decline more recently
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Why are there only 3 trustees?
Returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

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