BROAD PLAIN & RIVERSIDE YOUTH PROJECT 

The Charity acts as an alternative learning resource providing a service to young people who are referred by local schools as these young people have been excluded from mainstream education and are given respite education and specialist activities as a platform to re-engage and re-enthuse them. An evening Youth club is run for local young people. There are activities for Elderly Disabled People.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
  • The Board is completely male

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 recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
