THE JOHN THORNTON YOUNG ACHIEVERS FOUNDATION

The John Thornton Young Achievers Foundation (JTYAF) is privileged to be able to support many young people to develop as individuals and achieve their ambitions in life. The young achievers who attain awards are selected for their demonstration of the Foundation's key values: courage, determination, unselfishness and cheerfulness in adversity.

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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are 14 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12
The Board is predominantly male

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
