THE RUNNING CHARITY

TRC provides running & fitness-based initiatives to homeless and disadvantaged young people aged 16-24, using the great value of sport as a catalyst for proactive and productive social change. By providing them with the means to participate in healthy recreation and with access to support services to relieve their needs and assist them to integrate into society.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from multiple prominent grant makers recently
There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
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
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending

Established: 10 years
