YOUTH ENQUIRY SERVICE, BRIXHAM, LTD. 

The Charities objects are to advance in life and relieve the needs of people of all ages living in Torbay and the neighbourhood, who by reason of their social, physical or economic circumstances are in need, hardship or distress, through various leisure and educational activities, advice and guidance and the provision and promotion of residential accomodation.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from multiple prominent grant makers recently
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
Established: 25 years
