GREATER MANCHESTER SPORTS PARTNERSHIP

GreaterSport is a Greater Manchester charity committed to changing lives through moving more, sport and physical activity. We play a strategic leadership role in support of GM Moving, the Greater Manchester wide movement, for movement. We lead, support and connect the Greater Manchester system in creating the conditions to enable Active Lives for All.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • Reserves management has been consistently within official guidelines
  • There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • 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 and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity is not recognised by HMRC for Gift Aid according to its latest published return
  • One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
  • Why are there 13 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12?
