OADBY BOYS' CLUB 

Provides recreational facilities for indoor and outdoor activities for young people of both sexes mainly between the ages of 10 and 18. We also offer help and councelling for young people as well as access to other agencies that support this age group.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • 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
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
Established: 61 years
