CRAWLEY COMMUNITY YOUTH SERVICE LIMITED

Crawley Community Youth Service benefits young people through Youth Clubs, one-off projects, Community events or simply providing safe places. We bring together local organisations working with young people to share ideas, resources, skills and support. We link to County/National bodies representing the young people from Crawley.

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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board composition appears to be rather static and 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

Established: 13 years
