TOWER HAMLETS YOUTH SPORT FOUNDATION 

Providing outstanding opportunities and support for young people in Tower Hamlets to reach their potential, realise their ambitions and develop personally through sport. This is achieved through the management of a range of school and community youth sport schemes, and direct services to 4-21 year olds that include the delivery of over 400 hours of additional sport and physical activity per week.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been reasonable growth in spending 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 age and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
