BLACKBURN YMCA

Blackburn YMCA is a Christian Charity committed to helping young people, particularly at the time of need, regardless of gender, race, ability or faith.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £4,426,127 available, equivalent to 89 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
Income has been volatile recently but spending has been maintained
