WINCHESTER YOUTH COUNSELLING

Winchester Youth Counselling (WYC) provides counselling and other therapeutic activities to young people aged 11-25 experiencing mental health issues in the District of Winchester.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
There have been no material 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

Financial issues to consider:

This Charity has changed registration and some of the financial and donation history pertains to the previous entity
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
