GOLDDIGGER TRUST 

Golddigger Trust exists to unearth the value in young people, and see lives transformed, through equipping them with the self-esteem and skills to make positive choices for themselves. Golddigger Trust does this by providing holistic emotional wellbeing and youth work services within the Sheffield region, and training others across the UK to deliver similar programmes.
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 dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

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