WESTMINSTER HOUSE YOUTH CLUB 

As stated in the Constitution "to give young people between the ages of 7 and 20 years in Nunhead and Peckham and the surrounding area in London access to a range of learning opportunities and challenging experiences which promote their personal and social and civic development"
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 age and gender

Financial issues to consider:

  • This Charity has changed registration and some of the financial and donation history pertains to the previous entity
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
