DURHAM CITY YOUTH PROJECT 

The project aims to provide experiences and opportunities both social and educational to young people who are deemed to be disadvantaged and prone to "at risk" behaviour. DCYP supports young people from all areas of County Durham and helps to develop their social and emotional capabilities.
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 including the Government and there are significant future grants due to be received
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
