The target group is, however, young people who are disadvantaged in some way or have difficult relationships at home/school.
Analysis by Giving is Great

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers and there are significant future grants due to be received

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:
