LANDPORT YOUTH CENTRE 

We offer support for youth services provided by the county council at Landport Community Hub. We provide financial support, including things like paying the rent and paying for improvements in the dedicated youth club area.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker and there are significant future grants due to be received
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • 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
