THE CAXTON YOUTH ORGANISATION 

The Caxton Youth Club aims to offer young people a safe space in the inner city, where they can come to make and meet their friends. Our priorities are inclusion for young people with physical and/ or learning disabilities who live in Westminster.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Established: 22 years
