WAFC LTD

Washington A.F.C is a community club striving to provide access to football for all. Based from our North East sports facility in Washington we encourage children from age 4 to learn and develop their skills, we provide training for age groups from under 7s to under 18s and aim to have at least one team in every age division up to Under 18s.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
There are only 3 trustees
The Board is completely male
The Board composition appears to be very 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
Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
