THE WELSH ASSOCIATION OF YOUTH CLUBS

The purpose of Youth Cymru is to research, identify and respond to the needs of young people by developing and delivering programmes that contribute to their lifelong learning in an educational but essentially informal context.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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

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: 9 years
(32 years as a company)
