THE MAXIMUM LIFE YOUTH PROJECT

The Project provides activities and events for children and young people in the local area, which is one of the most deprived in the country. Our mission statements is to improve the quality of life for young people by providing opportunity for social, physical, mental and spiritual development, and so empowering them to mature as responsible and caring members of the community.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 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 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
