SILHOUETTE YOUTH

Silhouette Youth works with young people in areas of high social deprivation to give them accessible and affordable performing arts opportunities to allow them to achieve all they can achieve! We provide a safe and secure community environment where young people can come and express themselves, build friendships, improve their mental health and engage their passions. We aim to redirect the light

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending since inception
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board composition appears to be rather static
Returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

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