POKESDOWN COMMUNITY YOUTH CENTRE

the Charity continues to operate as a youth centre in the Southbourne area of Bournemouth, being one of the oldest youth clubs in the country where thousands of young people have benefited over 100 plus years. The centre has had its first year open in the new guise as a world class My Place centre meeting the needs of young people in the 21st century.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

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
There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
Income has been volatile recently but spending has been maintained
