BIRTLEY TOWN FOOTBALL CLUB 

To promote community participation in healthy recreation in association football, for the public benefit to the communities of Birtley and surrounding areas.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is completely 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
  • Accounts have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 3 years and the current period appears to have been extended
