THE RAISE UP FOUNDATION 

Bringing together the knowledge and expertise of grassroots organisations, local stakeholders, and relevant partners to support young people and their families in Luton.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Accounts have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 3 years and the current period appears to have been extended
