ASPIRE2

ASPIRE2 has been established to support activities for families whose children attend the Whitley Cluster of schools. We provide Easter and Summer holidays, day trips, school visits - which are not covered under curriculum activity as well as an annual Arts Festival.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
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
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
Income has been volatile recently
