BRITISH GYMNASTICS FOUNDATION

Current activities include: gymnastics exercise programme which is both dementia-friendly and age-friendly; hardship grants programme; sports leadership programme for parents interested in a career in sport and living in a deprived area, combined with a pre-school gymnastics course for their children; Gym Challenge in special school; gym day for Chernobyl children.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
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 gender 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

Established: 10 years
