ACTIVE TRAINING AND EDUCATION 

ATE is an educational trust which runs residential holiday camps called 'Superweeks' during the Christmas, Easter and summer school holidays. The children come from all over the UK and beyond. Young adult volunteers are trained by ATE to work with the children on Superweeks. The charity also engages in a limited amount of work with schools including residential courses and staff INSET
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • 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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • 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
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile recently
