EDENVENTURES

We deliver a summer holiday project, Summer Weeks, which provides an in-depth transformative experience using creative arts and outdoor skills/activities for children aged 5-13yrs in a 5 day program (including a sleep over on the Thursday night) in the Penrith area. We provide volunteer opportunities for young people aged 14-25. We also run a weekly youth group in Alston for 11-19 year olds.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
The Board is predominantly female

Financial issues to consider:

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