PURLEY YOUTH PROJECT

We provide and maintain Purley Youth Centre to enable its use by the young people of Croydon. We also work with Croydon Council to recruit, train and support paid youth workers and volunteers who organise activities for young people at Purley Youth Centre.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests 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
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
