THE GREATER MANCHESTER TRUST FOR RECREATION 

To encourage young people to participate in a wide range of activities designed to promote their social and sporting skills.provide appropriate space for active play for young people and young adults
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received Government grants
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
