SOMERSET TIME FOR YOUTH 

The principle activities of the charity are to improve the lifestyles and experiences of people up to 25 years of age within the community who have special/additional needs by introducing a programme of social, leisure and educational events, to enrich their quality of life.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is completely female
  • 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
  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing
  • Income has been volatile recently
