EAGLE'S NEST PROJECT

Eagle's Nest Project seeks to provide alternative education solutions for young people on the margins of mainstream. This currently involves mentoring and providing short term small group courses for clusters of students. The long term vision is to see residential schools set up in small farms, outdoor centres or similar where young people learn the life skills they need to succeed for life.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
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 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
