DIANA AWARD

The Diana Award is a legacy to Princess Diana?s belief that young people have the power to change the world . Our aims are to: empower young people to achieve their full potential, engage them in social action and encourage them for their contribution. We achieve these aims though four core programmes which focuses on Antibullying, Social Mobility, Mentoring and an Award Scheme.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
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 and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

Unrestricted reserves appear to be dangerously low at the latest year end
