HELENA KENNEDY FOUNDATION

Supporting disadvantaged college leavers wishing to enter higher education and promoting progression to graduate employment. We do this through bursaries, skills training, mentoring and providing work placement opportunities. By promoting wider participation in higher education and fair access to the graduate professions we help students to overcome social injustice.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender

Financial issues to consider:

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