GOSPEL OAK ACTION LINK YOUTH CLUB (GOAL)

We are located in Gospel Oak, Camden. We provide a range of free activities to young people aged 8 to 19 years. With partners we open five evenings a week and operate holiday programmes. The provision of these activities is designed to achieve outcomes for the young people which would not otherwise be available for them and to provide a safe space for the young people to meet and have fun.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There have been no income shortfalls in recent 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 gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

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

GOAL previously reached a number of young women through a weekly youth project, but responded to calls from these young women to offer a safe and positive space in which young women living locally could meet, explore issues important to them, and learn new skills. The group was open to young women aged 13-19 years old. This project brought people together in order to increase peer-support within this community of young women.
