PATCHWORK FOUNDATION

Patchwork works to equip young people (18 - 30 years old) with the necessary skills and experience to encourage active participation in democracy and wider civil society. Our activities seek to fulfil our mission to make our democracy more accessible while supporting the professional development of young people and supporting them to take active roles in civil society.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
There has been strong growth in spending since inception

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
