TAKE 1 STUDIOS LIMITED

The focus of our activities continues to support those that are socially excluded and develop plans and activities to benefit the community served. This benefits young people by developing their self-confidence and social skills alongside practical IT skills and life skills. We welcome all young people regardless of personal background, faith, gender or personal circumstances.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers and there are significant future grants due to be received

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

One or more trustees receive benefits from the charity
There are only 3 trustees
The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Latest accounts are overdue for filing and returns have been filed late on 5 occasions over the last 5 years

Established: 12 years
(18 years as a company)
