UP - UNLOCKING POTENTIAL

We work collaboratively with communities to enable children and young people with social, emotional and mental health needs to unlock their full potential. We deliver therapeutic school programmes across London and education provision at the Corner School in Brent. We work in collaboration with families and other partners in a trauma informed way that is child centric and attachment based.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
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 dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
