UNITED IN THE COMMUNITY

All our activities focus on the advancement of education and promotion of exercise, diet and leading a healthy lifestyle. These activities are designed to create interest in the playing of association football and encourage the development of young players by inspiring, exciting and educating children and young people.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Financial issues to consider:

  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile recently
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
