BRIGHTER START

Brighter Start raises funds in the UK to help charities, groups and individuals in sub-Saharan Africa to improve education for young people under 25, and to relieve poverty or financial hardship to enable young people to benefit from education.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
Spending is declining
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
