PHOENIX RISING

Phoenix Rising provides educational, musical, recreational, sport, personal development and leadership activities primarily for disadvantaged children and young people in the London Borough of Brent and neighbouring boroughs.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

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