MIDDLESBROUGH SPORTABILITY CLUB

To relieve the needs of young persons residents in Middlesbrough and the surrounding area by the provision of facilities for recreation and sport for individuals in particular, but not exclusively, those aged 8-19 years of age who have learning disabilites and those with physical and/or sensory impairment.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why are there 13 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12?

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
