YORK CITY KNIGHTS FOUNDATION

Promote the health, education and community participation of people in the community including teachers. Provide and assist with sports facilities for persons who have need for such facilities by reason of youth, age, infirmity or disablement, poverty and social welfare

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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There is only 1 trustee
The Board composition appears to be very static

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Accounts have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
