They also embody the ethos of our charity- we believe in working with young people from all backgrounds for a safer, more cohesive future.Our projects are led by young volunteers aged between 11 and 25. We deliver training, youth activities and heritage/arts projects, involving oral history and spoken word.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

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