CARMARTHEN YOUTH PROJECT 

Carmarthen Youth Project aims to promote the best interests of young people (aged 11 - 25) from Carmarthen and the surrounding rural areas.
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
  • 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 but spending has been maintained
Established: 16 years
