THE PIONEER YOUTH CLUB

To help and educate young people through their leisure time activities to develop their physical, mental, moral and spiritual capacities so that they may grow to full maturity as individuals and members of society.To offer facilities of the Pioneer Club to the Community as determined by the Management Committee.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
There are only 3 trustees
The Board is completely male
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
There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
Income was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
