SHEFFIELD CITY TRUST 

1) Promoting the benefit of the inhabitants of South Yorkshire and surrounding counties through the provision of facilities for recreation and leisure time occupation, ad hoc initiatives and the provision of financial support to appropriate projects.
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 is not recognised by HMRC for Gift Aid according to its latest published return
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

  • Unrestricted reserves appear to be dangerously low at the latest year end
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
  • Fundraising costs are extremely high relative to funds raised
Established: 36 years
