YMCA NORTH TYNESIDE

We're a multi-purpose venue in North Shields for use by members and the public including Gym, dance studio, Arts, Music, Sir James Knott Housing, meeting rooms
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from multiple prominent grant makers recently
  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • 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:

  • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £7,293,053 available, equivalent to 31 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
  • There is a pension deficit of £134,867
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
