EMERGING LEADERS 

Emerging Leaders exists to bring tangible hope to the worlds poorest communities through the very best leadership training. Currently operations exist in Kenya and South Africa with plans in motion to move into West Africa and to expand operations in the UK focusing on NEET (not in education, employment or training) youth.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received Government grants
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly 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
