PLAY TORBAY

Over 9,000 individual activities delivered to over 3,057 individual children and young people age 4-19 in one year.Resulting in over 22,000 individual play opportunities. 89.7% of these children are marginalised in some way: looked after, young carers, disabled, low income, families with complex needs.BUT when they're with us they're not wearing labels ? they just love to PLAY and have fun!

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government and there are significant future grants due to be received
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is predominantly female

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
