THE BIRMINGHAM BATTALION OF THE BOYS' BRIGADE

The focus of our 'core work' is in 44 locations where our volunteer leaders work with young people in the age range 4 to 18 years each week and engage with them through positive activities through our four programmes, Anchors, Juniors, Company and Seniors. This work is supplemented by a wide range of activities organised centrally for the benefit of the young people.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is completely male

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
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
