DIGILOCAL CIO

DigiLocal believes that while talent is everywhere, opportunity is not. Our purpose is to give underrepresented young people the opportunity to discover and develop their digital talents. We work through community partners to provide clubs in community venues. We support industry volunteers to mentor the young people in developing their problem solving skills and build resilience.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers and there are significant future grants due to be received

Financial issues to consider:

Income has been volatile recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
