JOURNEYMAN MENTORING NETWORK LIMITED

Journeyman UK is a unique mentoring charity. Dedicated to supporting boys aged 13 to 17 in discovering their potential as they navigate the choppy waters of adolescence, we enable communities to skilfully take responsibility for helping their boys and young men become the adults they want to be.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • Why are there only 4 trustees?
  • Why is the Board completely male?
  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age
  • 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
