LIFTING LIMITS

Lifting Limits challenges gender stereotyping and promotes gender equality, in and through education. We do this by working with schools and educators to provide the training and resources they need to make visible, for challenge and discussion, gender stereotyping which may exist in the school environment and to equip their pupils to challenge gender stereotyping wherever they may encounter it.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

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