YOUTH UNITED FOUNDATION

The vision of Youth United Foundation is to make it so that every young person who wants to join a uniformed organisation is able to do so. We do this by increasing the number of adult volunteers supporting member organisations, increasing opportunities for young people to join a uniformed youth organisation, attracting funding and making better use of resources through collaboration

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending

Established: 12 years
