THE STUDENTS EXPLORING MARRIAGE TRUST

An education charity that works in partnership with schools and other organisations enabling young people to explore how to create and sustain positive, long-lasting relationships. Explore facilitates youth-led sessions to help young people challenge negative and/or unrealistic media depictions of relationships, develop emotional literacy and knowledge of relationships to support positive choices.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending

Established: 23 years
