YOUTH FUTURES 

Activities Youth Futures is like a family in many ways and we support each other to grow as a unit; developing the skills of the young people and celebrating the achievements and talents of a diverse and growing group of members, who would otherwise have nowhere to go and no-one to turn to on their challenging journey of growing into successful and inspirational young adults.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government and there are significant future grants due to be received
  • The Board appears to be 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
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
Established: 10 years
