YMCA WALSALL

As a subsidiary of YMCA Black Country Group, the vision is of an inclusive Christian Movement, transforming communities, so that all young people truly belong, contribute and thrive. We fulfil this vision through supported housing for homeless young people in areas of deprivation and healthy living services which promote well being and community learning activities.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are 13 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12

Financial issues to consider:
