MISBOURNE AREA YOUTH 

The charity provides leisure and recreational opportunities for the young people of the Prestwood, Great Missenden and surrounding villages through drop-in style youth clubs.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

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 was lower than spending in the latest year
