DYFODOL POWYS FUTURES 

TO PROVIDE SERVICES FOR CHILDREN, YOUNG PEOPLE AND FAMILIES WITHIN THE COUNTY OF POWYS AND OTHER AREAS IN WALES.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
  • This charity is based in an area of high deprivation

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board 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
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
Established: 15 years
