KINGDOM LIFE YOUTH AND COMMUNITY CENTRE

To develop youth targeted projects and manage a youth facility for youth and community groups to access that will support the development of confidence, self esteem and social skills for young people from diverse backgrounds.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years, despite a decline more recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • Why is the Board completely male?

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
