Our services are aimed at all members of a family as we believe families reflect the society in which they live, for us strong families results in a strong society. Our current work with youth is about keeping them grounded so we aim to teach young people the significance being independent, boosting their self esteem and confidence
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
