THE SOUSTER YOUTH TRUST 

The trust provides support for young people in East Northamptonshire who encounter mental health difficulties, relationship issues or who seek spiritual development. In carrying out these activities, the trust works closely with schools and with church-related and other youth groups in the area.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of 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
  • Income was lower than spending in the latest year
