MYBIGCAREER

The aim of MyBigCareer is to provide free one-to-one careers guidance to young people from the most disadvantaged backgrounds and thereby breakdown barriers to social mobility

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender

Financial issues to consider:

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