SACRISTON YOUTH PROJECT

SYP is a resource for children and young people up to the age of 19 living in Sacriston and the surrounding areas by providing advice and assistance and organising programmes of physical, educational and other activities.

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 dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Over half the Board have joined recently

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: 8 years
