SPECTRUM PEOPLE

Spectrum People focuses on social inclusion programmes and develops 'meaningful activities' that are delivered in partnership with other local charities and enterprises. Cookery programs, allotment projects, fitness schemes and creative arts projects are all examples of meaningful activities.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
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:

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

Referrals may be made by some of our working partners such as the police or our local housing Wakefield District Housing Association. As a Charity supporting vulnerable people referrals may also come through the charity itself. Further recruitment will be made by the tutor attending groups and school assemblies and delivering a promotional speech or task that will engage the students. We have good connections with Local radio stations who will also advertise what we are doing for free. Schools and colleges have promotional TV that can have a rolling slide show telling students how to sign up. We may also get young people from the cadets or scouts to advertise through social media.
