THE SELBY TRUST 

Selby Trust's vision is delivered with the ethos of "Many Cultures One Community". We manage community buildings & run community projects that respond to community needs whilst improving the life chances of disadvantaged communities in 5 areas: (a) facilities management, (b) Community development, (c) Community environmental development, (d) Community economic development, (e) Community safety.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • More than half of total income was derived from trading and fees in the latest year
  • There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • 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 age and gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity is not recognised by HMRC for Gift Aid according to its latest published return

Financial issues to consider:

  • Unrestricted reserves appear to be dangerously low at the latest year end
  • Fundraising costs are extremely high relative to funds raised
Established: 29 years
