NORTHAMPTONSHIRE SPORT

Northamptonshire Sport works together with local and national partners to get people in Northamptonshire More Active, More Often. Our focus is on reducing inactivity levels particularly for those people who are least likely to be active and most likely to be affected by health inequalities.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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 well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy

Financial issues to consider:

Unrestricted reserves appear to be dangerously low at the latest year end
