LORNA YOUNG FOUNDATION

The Lorna Young Foundation works to support producers in developing countries to improve their livelihoods by adding value to their activities through education, training and direct economic support. Its UK projects promote education, information and work opportunities through community-owned ethical and fair trading enterprises, with a particular focus on disadvantaged groups.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board 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
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
