WALLSEND BOYS CLUB 

"The objectives of the Club are to support young people living in North Tyneside through their involvement in organised sport and activity programmes in order that they can achieve their potential and realise their ambitions"
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • This charity has a robust balance sheet
  • 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
  • Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is completely male
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

  • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £1,754,897 available, equivalent to 63 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
  • Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
