ESSEX YOUTHBUILD 

Essex Youthbuild works with young people aged 11-19 years from across Essex, many of whom are in some way disadvantaged. Essex Youthbuild provides training in construction skills alongside mentoring and support to help these young people gain qualifications and move on to the next step in their lives.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • There are only 3 trustees

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
Established: 16 years
