YOUTH SPACE

Youth space advocates for young people with "risk factors" ensuring that they access a safe space, food provision, and realistic pathways which will lead them to break free from the intergenerational cycle of disadvantage.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • Why are there only 3 trustees?
  • Why is the Board completely male?

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
