BIRTLEY TOWN FOOTBALL CLUB

To promote community participation in healthy recreation in association football, for the public benefit to the communities of Birtley and surrounding areas.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Why is the Board completely male?
Returns have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 3 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

The latest accounts were qualified
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
