THE ZONE YOUTH PROJECT

Various formal and informal education and youth work projects in Nottingham City, including alternative education for young people excluded from mainstream education or in need of some intensive support to re-engage. We also provide life-skills, an open access youth club and offer young people 1-2-1 support and informal education opportunities.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently and there are significant future grants due to be received
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are only 2 trustees
The Board is completely female
The Board composition appears to be rather static and has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
Income has been volatile recently

Established: 22 years
