YORK LGBT FORUM

We operate in York and its surrounding environs. Currently we have the following subgroups: Health and Wellbeing, Hate Crime, Bisexual, Older People, Education and Young People and Trans. These groups aims to forward the charitable objects of the York LGBT Forum via, support groups, training and fostering a sentiment of equality in York.

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
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Income was significantly lower than spending in the latest year

Established: 9 years
