WORCESTER YMCA

Working from our own accommodation centre and accommodation centres of other organisations we provide youth work including the support of young people towards independent living, "move on" accommodation and support for vulnerable adults. There are educational, training, vocational, sports and recreational opportunities available to the public.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • More than half of total income was derived from trading and fees in the latest year
  • There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period, despite a decline more recently
  • 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 and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • Liquidity appeared to be in excess of CC guidelines at the latest year end especially considering the historic stability of income
  • Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
  • Fundraising costs are extremely high relative to funds raised
