THE DOWNSIDE SETTLEMENT

DFYC, open to all young without discrimination, supports socially excluded young people in Bermondsey and around, enabling them to fulfil their potential through a structured and varied programme of activities, which the staff actively supervise and join in during all sessions. Based on Christian principles, young people discover meaning to their lives and contribute to their local communities.

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 including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified 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
Income has been volatile recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year

Established: 55 years
(88 years as a company)
