LIVING SPORT CAMBRIDGESHIRE AND PETERBOROUGH SPORTS PARTNERSHIP LIMITED 

LIVING SPORT works to increase opportunities to be active and participate in sport, wellbeing, and physical activity throughout Cambridgeshire by connecting, influencing, developing people and organisations to deliver high quality events and activities in their local communities.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • 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
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity is not recognised by HMRC for Gift Aid according to its latest published return
  • The Board is predominantly male
  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • Unrestricted reserves appear to be dangerously low at the latest year end
Established: 16 years
