YEAR HERE FOUNDATION

The Year Here Foundation advances education and training by providing bursaries to those in financial hardship undertaking a course of study in (but not limited to) social innovation, social entrepreneurship and the skills, methods and techniques required for the establishment and management of charitable, philanthropic and benevolent institutions
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:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • Income 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
