    HIGHER POTENTIAL

    Higher potential exists to improve the life chances of under 25s in the UK through Education particularly in Music and Arts and personal development .We aim to target young people not in Education or employment and those at risk to gangs and youth crime through music workshops courses and mentoring programs
    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

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

    Financial issues to consider:

    • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
    • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
