TIPTON YOUTH PROJECT 

We provide training and support to improve life-skills in children and young people, to empower them to make better life choices and enabling them to remain safe and healthy. To improve their self-esteem and grow in confidence so they are able to make a positive contribution to society. We work in participation with local communities, schools and faith groups to end the cycle of low aspirations
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
