YOUTH WITH A FUTURE

Y.W.A.F. works alongside other organisations, to support young homeless people aged 16-25, and those in supported housing. We also support many local positive youth initiatives and individuals with education, training and employment needs.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

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