SEFTON CHILDRENS TRUST

Provides holiday/residential experiences for young people from families who are experiencing difficulties. We aim to build relationships, deliver educational and recreational programmes for personal and social development. We have parties, provide hampers, visit the pantomime and other theatre visits when possible.

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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is predominantly female

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
Income was lower than spending in the latest year
