SOMERSET TIME FOR YOUTH

The principle activities of the charity are to improve the lifestyles and experiences of people up to 25 years of age within the community who have special/additional needs by introducing a programme of social, leisure and educational events, to enrich their quality of life.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why is the Board completely female?
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

  • Income has been volatile recently
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
