WHITEHAVEN HARBOUR YOUTH PROJECT 

Personal development opportunity for young people utilising outdoor adventure activity, sport and Youth work. The Project serves West Cumbria and works in partnership with schools and other organisations as well as our own Youth Club and Adventure Group.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • 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 and there are significant future grants due to be received
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Income has been volatile recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
