WALTHAM ABBEY YOUTH 2000 

Provision maintenance and operation of a youth centre in Waltham Abbey, Essex. Provision of services to young people, including arts, sports, leisure, IT, and a confidential counselling service for young people and, if necessary, their family members.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government and a Community Foundation
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static and has little diversity in terms of age

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
