BURY FOOTBALL FOUNDATION

Bury FC Community Trust delivers a number of football and sporting activities to provide a range of opportunities to improve health and fitness, develop educational opportunities and to engage hard to reach and excluded communities. Our programmes support healthy lifestyles, reduce social isolation, improve academic achievement and employability, and reduce anti social behaviour.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are only 4 trustees
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
Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
Income has been volatile recently

Established: 17 years
