VIKING CENTRE & YOUTH CLUB LIMITED

COMMUNITY CENTRE AND YOUTH CLUB

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is predominantly male
The Board has little diversity in terms of age
Returns have been filed late on 4 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
