THE THAMESFIELD YOUTH ASSOCIATION
The Henley Youth Centre building was sold in July 2015. The Trustees intend to fulfil the charity's objectives by investing the proceeds of the sale and using the income from the investments to fund youth work within Henley and have already began to make grants to charities and projects that meet this criteria.
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity reported a deficit of £14,037 for the year ended 31st March 2025, resulting in a decrease in total unrestricted reserves to £1,482,105. The charity holds significant investments valued at £1,479,483, which are managed by an independent broker to generate income for grants. The trustees confirm that the going concern basis remains appropriate and that the charity has no paid employees.
