ANSAR YOUTH PROJECT

To advance the education and relief of young people and others,through leisure activities so as to develop their physical, mental, social, emotional and spiritual capacities that they may grow to full maturity as individuals and members of society.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
The Board composition appears to be rather static and has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

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

Established: 17 years
