GERMAN YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION IN LONDON 

To provide support and advice to those of German origin living in London on a temporary or permanent basis and to those of the local community.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • More than half of total income was derived from trading and fees in the latest year
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

  • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £5,178,120 available, equivalent to 27 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
  • Accounts have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • Fundraising costs are extremely high relative to funds raised
