CATZERO 

People of all ages, often with complex underlying issues, are supported to overcome the barriers that prevent them moving into education, training or employment. Our uniqueness comes from how we do things, not just what we do. Our experienced & dedicated team builds trust & confidence in individuals with programmes of self-analysis, development and challenge. The result is lasting personal change.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from multiple prominent grant makers recently and there are significant future grants due to be received
  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:
