CHARNWOOD 20:20 

Our aim is to help young people see beyond their disadvantage and disengagement, recognise their worth and potential, focus on building the skills for success, and develop a clear vision and plan to achieve sustained employment and a bright future.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • 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
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Over half the Board have joined recently

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: 17 years

Highest pay bracket: less than £60,000
Comment: 2018 was exceptionally challenging and a significant deficit was incurred.

The management of the charity has strategic plans in place to replenish cash and reserves through a combination of further strategic cost cuts and a fundraising strategy to diversify sources of funding, The deficit incurred in the year was a one off event, due to the turbulent year of leadership changes, and a recent external strategy review has confirmed the fundability of the business model. Systems remain in place for financial monitoring e.g.annual budgets, monthly management accounts, weekly fundraising dashboards, and these were tightened by the new CEO.
