THE PAUL CANOVILLE FOUNDATION

The Paul Canoville Foundation, a registered charity established in May 2015, draws on the life story, experiences and commitment of our Founder to support young people in overcoming adversity. Our mission is to give young people the skills and support they need to build resilience and inspire and equip them to overcome life's challenges and build a better future.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government and there are significant future grants due to be received
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • Income was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
