BLACKBURN CATHOLIC YOUTH CENTRE 

To advance the social and recreational welfare of young persons and persons of any age, in a catholic, christian and multi-faith acceptance setting. The Charity has become a corner stone of Blackburn society having operated from premises in the town centre for over sixty years.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board is completely male
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

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 and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
Established: 58 years
